Big Daddy, “Cutting Their Own Groove”  
Rhino records R2 70733

Track 12 “Memory” (2:20)  
(Webber/Nunn/Eliot) R&H Music Co. (BMI)  
But it may take a little work to find a copy. It came out in '91 and I can’t even find any mention of it at [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) or the Rhino records site. Try Napster, and if worse comes to worse I might be able to run off a copy for you. It appeals to my sense of symmetry, the first time I heard this was on a compilation tape from a friend of mine.

Thanks, Robot Arm. Once I have that information,  
I can usually find any CD.

Thanks Coldfire,

I’ll take your tip for best Dutch Beer, as long as it’s full strength and comes with a couple of tubes of Pringles Chips 🙂
