CDNow - Ordered 11/06/98 - Backordered - Cancelled
Amazon.com - Ordered 12/07/98 - Shipped 12/16/98 - Received 12/26/98
Also based on the stories by Ruth McKenney
The booklet contains a long history of the show, and a synopsis, with a few photos.
There are some pieces I love in this recording, 100 easy ways for example, but there are others that do not do me so much good. But as I got it recently, I will wait a little to give a definitive opinion on it (if an opinion can ever be definitive!).
