(can that truly be a decision?) Thank you everyone for ideas and thoughts about visiting SoCal. It doesn't quite seem so scary. I am an awful wuss travelling these days. You are a great bunch! We are beginning to work out an itinerary, so that's quite something. First time I heard Joni sing "California" was January 1970. I never ever dreamed me, a little lass living on the outskirts of London, would ever visit there. It's just amazing.

Joni must have forgotten the tuning I guess :~) For folk who haven't seen this book yet, it is much better than I had anticipated. Some lovely photos and even dulcimer tunings. I like that it's called the 'Complete - so far' .A nice light touch. Joni thanks Joel Bernstein for preserving the tunings, which is great, but I was SO surprised that there was no mention of Sue, Marian, Mark Howard nor your good self, Dave, who have made the songs accessible to us minions. Never mind, she's probably saving the thanks for Volume 2, Anita O > > > > > On Feb 8, 2014, at 8:39 AM, Anita G wrote: > >> I have been looking through this book (which is absolutely brilliant) >> and I think I may have spotted something that doesn't seem to work for >> me and would welcome hearing what my fellow listers thinks. >> >> The wonderful 'Dawntreader' (all hail the mighty song) tuning is >> listed as DGDDGD.
