Babalu
And last, two from Groucho Marx from an old 45 I've had for ages. This dates from the end of his life when he toured with Marvin Hamlisch. He was forced to sing for his supper when his vile third wife mishandled his money and he was left practically destitute.

Oh, we *LOVE* the Marx Brothers and we love the Lydia song. It is so fun to watch Groucho perform it in "At the Circus" and we have the CD set "The Marx Brothers Sing & Play" with that song on it. We didn't know that about Groucho's third wife- sad.
merci
