Does anyone know how I might locate the piano part for Webb's 'Still Within the Sound of my Voice'?
No search has come up trumps. There's one songbook on Webb but that tune isn't included.

My favorite JW tune.
The changes themselves aren't all that difficult (Ronstadt's version), but what he might play on it - if he's doing a solo piano/vocal performance - can be quite difficult.
Plus, he'll never do it the same way twice. He's an incredible player and interpreter of his own material. |

That's why I want a piano part. I'd adapt it to six-string for my purposes, of course.
They're easy changes but the vocal is tricky and selecting a key takes thought. E major seems to fit my vocal range (such as it is!) The modulations are clever, though, and Glen proved yet again what a stellar singer he was.
It's a beautiful song and Jimmy Webb sits alongside Burt Bacharach on my list of all-time great writers - right at the top.
