I have the words to this, thanks to Stewie and others. I really need the guitar tuneing and chords. I like the way he does it. David Bromberg also copied him.

I am very dumb on the guitar but I try. Jeepman

My copy of this tune is on vinyl Jeepman and almost unplayable. From what I can remember, it is some sort of open tuning,though I'm not sure which one. And I can also recall that it is a fairly difficult song to play as Mr. Bromberg does it.

I realize this doesn't help you much but nobody was answering so I thought I'd at least respond with what I have in my memory. If I can find another copy or play my old one I'll take a shot at finding the tuning at least.

if anyone can help me . . . I am trying to figure out how to get chords for music which I have the sheet music for. It is mostly traditional or bluegrass. I am desperate. I've read a couple of books on music theory but I cannot figure it out. I'm convinced there is a ryme or reason.

e-mail me wayupyander@yahoo.com

thanks, Troy
