Saw him at Warwick Folk Festival a couple of years ago. He had the audience eating out of his hand. Maybe he chose that tuning. When you have truly arrived there are choices you can make for given effects. I didn't find the song inspiring, but maybe the listener has to understand the difference between what I don't like, and what is an expert at work. As one lass told me of her husband with his new toy - the banjo. Sometimes they fall in love with the instrument. The same of a newly written song. Did you persevere till Hiromi's piano playing? Not my kind of interest, but ya cain't fault the skill. Some odd key changes for one note! Or was it a bum note? Don't ask me, I am not a musician, I am a drummer!
