Little Ricky on Conga Drum

This episode is fine but really takes off at the finale when Ricky plays Baba Loo with Little Ricky !!! The kid playing Little Ricky is so wonderful singing along with Desi Arnaz and Desi really delivers on his conga playing!!! Sometimes the smallest of tv moments are the most memorable and iconic.
