I find the DADGAD tuning very strange. Did you know that Joni did not compose any of her songs in DADGAD? Maybe that's why it seems strange to me. "Booth of Glass" is also on the video, along with "Tango" (a wonderful song, and next on my list), and one other one which I can't think of the name of right now. This is a great video - it's such a thrill to be able to learn the songs of an artist from the artist herself! Wish JOni would do something similar. Kate, when are you going to make a video so I can learn your Wolf song??? >Maybe this is a FAQ, but is there a space on the >JMDL guitar site for tabs of non-Joni songs in >alternate tunings ? I also think it would be nice to have something like this. Maybe there would be space within the wanderer section? It sort of fits there since, in way, it would be wandering away from Joni in alternate tunings?

I will try and get into html gear and start a page for other tabs at wanderer. I know I'm a slowpoke but I will try to make this a priority. So if you want to send me tabs or links for this page, let me know. sem8@cornell.edu sue - -- "Heart and humor and humility will lighten up your heavy load ...
