Thanks for reminding me about this book.  I just put in an order for 
it.  (The wonder of the internet!!!)

I asked Molly Bee if she had understood the implications of the song -- 
especially the alternate and much dirtier versions of it.  She said 
sure, she was a farm girl and knew all about things like this!!

Molly talked about being good friends with Jimmy.  I wonder if she was a 
rival with Judy Krasnow for his affections.  I know that I would have 
had a thing for Molly if I had known her!!
