Lou and Peter Berryman

Lou and Peter Berryman (born 1947) are American folk singer-songwriters and longtime residents of Madison, Wisconsin.

[1] Lou (for Louise) and Peter were married at one time—hence the common last name.

They specialize in songs that make humorous observations about the human condition.

For example, "A Chat With Your Mother" is about a parent horrified by her child's cursing, and "Orange Cocoa Cake" presents another mother attempting, on the phone, to tell a friend a recipe while her children demand her attention.

Valdy's single "A Chorus For Peter and Lou" was written about them by Craig Wood when the two had a sojourn in Canada during the Vietnam War.
