Ditto Fran. Though I'm not as familiar with Nancy Schimmel's music, I do 
know and love her mother's music. Malvina Reynolds is a treasure and her
music is definitely worth getting to know. Magic Penny, the song you were
discussing is terrific and should be in everyone's repertoire! I think you
can find the lyrics in Rise Up Singing (also a great book). The chorus is:

Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.

If you're interested in obtaining her recorded music, contact her daughter
(see Fran's email quoted below).
