Choreographer's note: I will make no apology for the title of this dance,
either you loved or loathed the tv series of the same name...besides,
nothing else seemed appropriate. I love this album..but not for Delbert's
singing..but for Bekka Bramlett's. She IS her Mothers daughter
(ahhh, memories from a long time ago).
