Here is the basic info with a link to my tab and Marian's: Otis And Marlena written by: Joni Mitchell from the album: Don Juan's Reckless Daughter Transcribed by Sue McNamara Tuning: BbFCFAC ("Joni" Tuning: Bb77543) http://www.jmdl.com/guitar/otisandmarlena-sm-t.cfm or Otis And Marlena - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ written by: Joni Mitchell from the album: Don Juan's Reckless Daughter Transcribed by: Marian Russell Tuning: AEBEG#E ("Joni" Tuning: A77548) Capo: 1 http://www.jmdl.com/guitar/otisandmarlena-mr-t.cfm I haven't tried Marian's tab yet but she says it sounds more like a 12-string in this tuning. cool. I never played Otis and Marlena in public because I thought the line "While Muslims stick up Washington" was so passe! Alas that is no longer true, wish that it were. Joni continues to be timeless. Here is my imaginary gig set if I were to start with Otis and Marlena: Otis & Marlena Michael from Mountains: FFCGAC Go Tell the Drummer Man: ibid I Don't Know Where I Stand: ibid Refuge of the Roads: CACFAC yeah!! Thanks to all of you who have hung in there through my 6 month hiatus from saying anything on this list! take care, sue - -- ____________________ /____________________\ ||-------------------|| || Sue McNamara || || sem8@cornell.edu || ||___________________|| || O etch-a-sketch O || \___________________/ "It's all a dream she has awake" - Joni Mitchell ------------------------------ End of wanderer-digest V3 #2 ****************************
