A past wife of Woody with a daughter whos dad is big in classical music but is angry that daughter choses to play a Blue Fiddle for a variety of music non classical related.
She cut off ties with Woody after he did wot he did with the adopted daughter.

Legal Child Pornography was produced in European countries during the 60s and 70s.
