Im curious what some of the more musically-inclined think of this. Is this right? I thought it should be a wider range, considering how high she sang in the very early days compared to her most recent work. But maybe not.

Got another NEW batch of covers to lay on y'all today...most of these are from 2011-12 with the oldest being from the 2002 Steve Klink and Rachel Z tributes. And speaking of Steve Klink, this volume kicks off with his instrumental version of "Cotton Avenue" which is incidentally the only one so far that I'm aware of. 189 also features a nice mini-set from Florencia Otero - she's got a great voice and has a fine band backing her up and contributing some lovely solos. We also get a cover of "The Arrangement" which is another one we don't hear very often. Kevin Sandbloom gives us another of his covers from his Blue tribute. I love his voice and the twist he puts on these songs. Marge Weber, not so much. Many other tasty nuggets to be found in this sampler. Zzip it! http://ow.ly/xdB85 1. Steve Klink - Cotton Avenue 2. Mary Jane Alm - A Case of You 3. Leila Thigpen - Both Sides Now 4. Florencia Otero - I Had A King 5. Florencia Otero - River 6. Florencia Otero - Little Green 7. Florencia Otero - A Case Of You 8.

If it was a course like John Thompson (very popular in that era) then the second grade book affords a lot of theory and sight reading opportunities.
