“This song idea popped into my head, On Top Of Mount Baldy. Sung to the tune of On Top Of Old Smokey, here are the first two verses:
On top of Mount Baldy
All covered with monks
I realized possessions
Were nothing but junk
That life’s an illusion
And all things must pass
But that five million
Went a little too fast”
