That was Sandy, Mick. He was an original. He also had an impish and sometimes wicked sense of humor.

When we were working on 'I've Got a Song' he would spontaneously create obscene parodies of Malvina Reynolds' lyrics. For the title track, he would walk around the house singing,
"I've got a dong, it's about so long and about so big around,
But it's got a disease so I can't use it."

For 'Magic Penny, he sang,
"Love is something, if you give it away, you'll end up being poor."
