Long ago (about twenty years to go), in the United States, Mr. Bud and Mr. Barbara Cowsill decided to do their part to promote the population explosion. So one by one, the children were bequeathed, until they added seven Cowsills; Just in case the world was interested, Mrs. C, made a record of her adorable creatures. Good news because now everyone loves Susie, John, Barry, Paul, Dick, Bob and Bill. Here we have them for the first time. . . from how they were since they were born!
