Subject: CRD: Laura Nyro - "December's Boudoir"

[I once dreamed that I met her and she showed me how to play this, but
when I woke up I couldn't remember any of it.  And after looking for her
songbook for over 20 years, I found a copy last week *and it was wrong*! So
this is my own transcription of this lovely song from my all-time favorite
album, "Eli and the Thirteenth Confession".  --AWR]
