HiDee Bro Roy!

Hmmm...

"Smile
Though Your Heart is Aching
Smile
Even Though It' Breaking
When there are Clouds In The Sky..You'll Get By......"

(I didn't realize Charlie Chaplin'd penned those words 'till I Googled these lyrics...)

Anyways, that One-Word-Hooked BEAUT of a Song says it all. It's "Mindset". Like a good actor, who can cry ya a river On-Cue, a good writer's gotta Deliver The Goods, Come Rain or Come Shine...(yet Another great hook I wish I'd thought of first!)

While there DOES seem to be a preponderance of Sad Ones making the Charts.."Consider Me Gone"...etc..with the amount of Misery in the Economy, there's certainly a NEED for some Happier Fare..even if it's about "The Good Old Days"..(Which we Oldsters already know Weren't All THAT Good..heh!).

Study some of the 1930's Hits for clues..."Puttin' On The Ritz"..."Come Rain or Come Shine"..."Pennies from Heaven"...(Some of these mighta come later...I'm not dead-sure..but that's the General Idea...)

"C'mon, Get Happy!" (It's Do-able!)

Good Luck with the New Assignment, Amigo!
Best Wishes, Big Guy-Hug,
Stan
