We are now done and doing final proof reading. Some, like Let the Wind Carry Me, are monsters, and we have written out all vocal and woodwind parts as well as piano. The published songbooks for this album are laughably incorrect and we took on the job of presenting the correct unabridged scores for this lovely album. Part of the motivation came from the fact that the Mutts are to perform the whole of FTR on April 6th in San Diego (wanna come? - you really should!) and intend to do it right. A couple of piano pieces from Blue and LOTC remain to be charted but as far as the 70s albums are concerned we're close to having the project wrapped up. The published version of Paprika Plains is very good so we'll probably leave that one. As we complete them I upload them to the piano transcription database so put your 2.5x reading glasses on, remember which clef is which, be prepared to count odd meter bars and dive in to the wonderful piano pieces Joni wrote.

What I would suggest from those who only want to hear the best of the best of the best (which of course is always subjective anyway) is to check out the new volumes and pull their favorites for their own 'best of' compilations. Frankly I have enough on my plate managing the covers as I'm doing. Truth be told, there's not a lot of cheese coming out these days, you can get 15/20 solid tracks from 2 cd's!
