Wolfgang Hell Songs for each month (43) RE: Songs for each month 07 Jan 98

Is there a song for each day of the year? Most probably not. I made a DT-database search for 4 months of the year as a sample and found:
- 6 out of 30 possible days as the minimum
- 12 out of possible 30 days as the maximum number of individual days mentioned.
There are two further pecularities in the data:
- most noteworthy things happen on the first day of a month.
- there is a decline of memorabilia during the months: very few things happen after the 21. of any month.
What does this show? For a writer or singer of (folk)songs rhyme and prosody come before accuracy.
Wolfgang
