Did the Poppy Family have a song called Billy or Whcih Way You Goin' Billy?

Their name sounds familiar and that song seems like one they sang but I might be remembering wrong:)

If it is, yes, I liked that song very much.

Well, we have Mellencamp if he didn't float away from all the flooding:)

I remember the Billy song well...loved it and it still sounds good to me. The other song, I don't remember:( Sounds good though.

You can talk about Canada and it's people as much as you want...lol:) I like it!
