[1: I can play the piano part, but couldn't come close to transcribing it
for guitar; if that bothers you, do what I (and Todd Rundgren) did: start
playing piano specifically to learn her songs.  2: The Ark, whoever they
were, reportedly recorded this on Verve-Forecast's parent label, MGM, a
year before Laura's own version was released - does anyone have a copy of
this?  -- AWR]
