On the two tabs pages the tuning is given as Paul describes below (CGDFGC). This is correct if you want to play the song up a half step but the song is in B (the lead sheet is correct). All those strings need to go down another half step to be in the "Hejira" key. It is one of the most difficult tunings to get to play in tune as the strings are so slack. If you use a tuner to tune the open strings it will sound horrible when you fret a chord that combines fretted strings with open strings. You have to drop the tuning of the bottom couple of strings way flat to sound right when barred. I WISH it was in C...that would tune a little better....

Bob was a wonderful host and it was fun getting to meet Mrs. Bob and Bob junior who seems to be a chip off the old block. It was great having a late night hang after the show and playing some music. Unfortunately I was as sober as a judge as I am on a Lent-Purge of no alcohol, which is rough in this crowd. I will be falling off the wagon when I arrive in NYC on March 30. Anyone one up for some partying in the city that night? Thanks again Bob for a great hang and for treating my boys so nice. Luv Paz On Mar 16, 2009, at 9:48 AM, bob.muller@fluor.com wrote: Just thought I'd give a quick rundown of the great weekend that just passed. Paz and band came into town Thursday and we hung out at The Handlebar Thursday night for food & beverages while Michael took care of getting a bass and making sure the piano was tuned. It was great to see the familiar faces in the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and to meet the new guys. They are so genuinely kind and easy to hang with. After dropping the band back off at the hotel, we headed back to my place for a nightcap and to allow Mrs SCJoniguy to bask in the Paz aura for a bit. She is still swooning, but that's another story. As my schedule would have it, Friday was my day off of work, so I was able to meet up with Michael, Clint, Mark and Charlie for a great lunch downtown at Chicora Alley. Lemme tell ya, when you are taking a group of New Orleans musicians out for food, the pressure is definitely on, because let's face it, they're from New Orleans! But I think the guys were pretty impressed with the spicy fresh Jamaican flair of Chicora. We had a great lunch and I gave them a quickie tour of the beautiful Reedy Falls Park area which is really lovely. The fellas had to head back to the hotel for a promo radio interview so I headed back to the house, just in time to meet up with Victor Victrola who had come up from Atlanta to see the show Friday night. Had a nice visit with him, and it was good to get caught up. He headed over to The Handlebar to meet up with Michael and to allow me some time for a nap after my late-night Thursday. We all met up again Friday night for the show - luckily the weather was dreary enough to encourage folks to stay indoors and there was a pretty good crowd there. I was there with my Dad and his wife, My wife and son, mother-in-law and another music buddy. From the first seconds of the opening number (a piano/trumpet duet), the PHJB had the audience eating out of their hands. I kept looking around at my crew and there were lots of smiles, tapping feet and thumbs ups. We were all having a great time. Mark had some large shoes to fill with the passing of John Brunious, but he has a genuine warmth, a great sound on his horn and a fine vocal style to match so he is a worthy successor. Of course, we jumped into the middle of the 'second line' and wound up on stage, dancing and clapping and generally getting into it pretty good. Thanks Michael and PHJB for a night of wonderful music that continues to live on and be renewed by each generation. After the show we headed back to Michael's suite for some jamming and singing with Paz, Victor, Sarah & Heather the merch girls, and my friend Don. We got pretty rowdy but never got a visit from the front desk telling us to turn down the noise...we must be losing our touch! Saturday Paz & band hit the road for WV and their next gig, I chilled most of the day and then headed up to Asheville Saturday night with my son to catch Ani Difranco at the Orange Peel. Like The Handlebar, this is a very intimate and acoustically solid hall so I was looking forward to the show. Toshi Reagon opened and we both liked her a lot. I remember that she played the Joni's Jazz concert in Central Park in 2000 and did a great job. Her set was a mere 5 songs - we were definitely wanting more but we were happy with what we got, and it was also wonderful that the show was not going to be a late-late nighter as we had a 1.5 hour drive home. Ani's set was wonderful; she had Ali on the drums & Todd Sickafoose on standup bass, and I like her live much better when she has a rhythm section to drive her along. As is typically the case, the prolific Ani brought about 4-5 NEW songs for the performance, including a great Obama song called "Yes, We Can" that she wrote November 5, and another funny song about promiscuity. She also went way back in her catalogue and pulled out "Untouchable Face" and a couple of other big crowd-pleasers like "Shameless" & "Fuel" (she substituted Barack Obama for "Tweedle Dumb" in the song). The crowd was great and so was the sound; my son & I commented that we could make out practically everything Ani was saying which is of course important with her songs. We were out of there and back on the road by 10:30 which was much easier than trying to make that trip starting at 2AM like we would for a DBT show. Luckily Sunday was a rainy day so I was able to get caught up with other non-musical stuff like resting, doing my taxes and watching some movies. Happy-Go-Lucky is another jewel in Mike Leigh's crown, I just love his work and thought Sally Hawkins' performance was one of the sexiest and funniest performances I've seen in a while. Pick this one up if you're into the flicks. Thanks again to Michael & Victor for coming my way and making it a memorable, musical weekend. Plus...I know what Victor's surprise is, and I ain't telling. Bob NP: M.
