A 1936 datestone for a public library in Ohio.

DATESTONES ARE OCCASIONS TO RECALL the hit songs of the years the datestones display.

 

For instance, from 1936 we got "Goody Goody" by Matty Malneck and Johnny Mercer, performed by Helen Ward plus Benny Goodman and His Orchestra, which you could hear here or here if necessary. Me, I have never liked that song!
