ABBA: Knowing me knowing you.

Mind you , that's better than the no 1 on the day I was born, Russ Conway playing Sidesaddle

I have the sidesaddle single from my dad’s collection and a video I will cherish forever of dad playing it on the piano one Christmas apparently everyone was trying to play it and the sheet music was as popular as the single.
