Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anything Love Can Buy (Randy Sparks)
While you're at it, he also wrote a little ditty which I heard him perform in a nightclub in Fresno - years before he came up with the New Christy Minstrels concept. He performed as a "folk singer - balladeer, mainly on the west coast. An acquaintance of mine "gleaned" the song, modified it with local references and performed it in our local coffee house. One night, Randy came in, quietly sat in the audience and heard John do the song. After the set (and after he stopped laughing) he mentioned something about "copyright" or "intellectual property" and departed. The song was called "Rosie's House of Sin."
