Brendy Thank you so much for the detailed help!! I had heard Stefon Grossman talk of "The Spanish Fandango" being the begining of calling G tuning "Spanish Tuning" but the 1838 date is very helpfull. Though THe Litchfield Acadamy closed in 1823 this is closer then I was.. I also heard Vestable tuning was from a palor Peice with the word Vestable in it.Thanks again..
LDave, I bet Charley Patton would love to play with some ladies of the leisure class.. I know I would.. Sorry,
These tunes realey have gotten to me .. They are so inocent and clean at the same time, and leave so much space for interprtation. Ah what fun!! All the best Guy
