"It was 50 years ago that John Denver wrote Sunshine on My Shoulders.
"I wrote the song in Minnesota at the time I call 'late winter, early spring.' It was a dreary day, gray and slushy. The snow was melting, and it was too cold to go outside and have fun, but God, you're ready for spring. You want to get outdoors again, and you're waiting for that sun to shine, and you remember how sometimes just the sun itself can make you feel good. And with that frame of mind, I wrote 'Sunshine on My Shoulders."

He figured out "New Baby" because the first unused letter was "B." He guessed "New Baby Buggy" because his head was still stuck on the letter "B."
