Oh Dad, Poor Dad...

We celebrate Father's Day this weekend, and, as one who spent a long time learning on the job, I am keenly aware of Bill Phillips's definition of parenting: "It is like conducting Beethoven's Fifth in front of a full audience at Albert Hall while reading the score for the first time."

A song for the day? There was once a drippingly sentimental ballad called "That Silver-haired Daddy of Mine," and Eddie Fisher sang "O Mein Papa."

But we're going for Woody Herman's "Your Father's Moustache."

  1. Might you add a splash of water to the wry, Dr. Digression, and add a nomination of "My Heart Belongs to Daddy"?
