OLD 55 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Posted October 3, 2012 Okay, I know this one is a bit tougher, so we'll widen it to include 'Mother' or 'Father', but not just 'Baby' or 'Child' - has to be 'son' or 'daughter' . Some great ones there again. I haven't heard 'Brother Louie' for a while. I just found it on one of my 'Best Of' 70s' CDs and I'm playing it now. Thanks Jenny.
