Nice idea though. When you say "vs", do you mean that one should come out on top and be proved superior? or should we just compare and contrast, in general?

Tom, I haven't done the two you are asking about but I did post a transcription of Down to You on the site.

I know that the 1971-1972 Songbook (With the cloudy cover and the perm) is a little inaccurate, but I wish I played properly, I can only follow sheet music painfully. More accurate are the songbooks from the 90s. I will have a look. I'm not sure if I have a separate 'Blue' and FTR songbook to comepare with the collected but I will have a look!

I suggest this because, like Whitman, Joni says "Do I contradict myself? / Very well then, I contradict myself. / (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"

Yes, I'm referring to the early 70s Songbooks; I have the one that covers Blue and FTR--it does have a hazy cover. The piano transcriptions are woefully watered down. I'm unfamiliar with the songbooks from the 1990s. Who publishes them? (Hal Leonard Corp, perhaps?) Many thanks, --Tom Jamie's Box of Paints wrote: Did you mean the songbooks that followed each album?

I've located a title called "Joni Mitchell Complete", published by Alfred Publishing Corp., and being advertised at SheetMusicPlus. Here's the description: =============== Joni Mitchell Complete Published by Alfred Publishing. (PGM0512) Joni Mitchell The ultimate Joni Mitchell collection! 159 songs from 17 albums: Joni Mitchell, Clouds, Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, For the Roses, Court and Spark, Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Mingus, Wild Things Run Fast, Dog Eat Dog, Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm, Night Ride Home, Turbulent Indigo, Hits, and Taming the Tiger. Includes Joni's guitar tunings and a complete tuning index. =============== Does anyone have this, and could they evaluate its accuracy for me? I'm looking for accurate transcriptions of the piano/vocal music, specifically "The Last Time I Saw Richard" and "Judgement of the Moon and Stars." (This is a follow-up message to my previous & ongoing query.) Many thanks, --Tom - --------------------------------- Want to be your own boss? Learn how on Yahoo!
