USA; Midwest, southwestern Pa., New England. A Major. Standard tuning. AABB (Christeson, Cole, Hinds, Phillips, Sweet): AB (Bayard). The Pacific Slope refers to that part of North America that drains into the Pacific Ocean, a term that had particular meaning in the 19th century prior to the formation of the region into states and territories." And here also. Cheers, S. in Seattle on the Pacific slope |
