That's got to be 1978 by process of elimination. There's a Yamaha CP30 being played on it, which means it wasn't recorded before late 1977, & it was released on ALMANAC on vinyl, a copy of which I bought in 1979. Furthermore, given the fact that the CP30 is on it, it must have been laid down at the Village Recorder during the year the band was making Tusk because Stevie wouldn't have had such a keyboard for her own use--she was using Christine's. That goes for the other demos with the same keyboard, like THE DEALER.
I think Stevie did a lot of demos with Mick Fleetwood drumming & Tom Moncrieff on bass in this period between Rumours & Tusk, & some of them seem to have been recorded at the Village, as well as the studio Tom & Stevie built (wherever that was).
I also think she did a lot of her solo piano demos from 1978 to 1980, even of songs that had already been recorded (like RHIANNON). I think several of the RHIANNON piano demos are dated March 1978. It was a very active time for Stevie musically, & she seems to have been filled with energy for recording demos, guest-appearing with musician friends (Kenny Loggins, Todd Rundgren, Walter Egan, Bob Welch, John Stewart), & showing up at awards shows.
