This is lovely, Jim, in both words and music.  I know some guitarist who use alternative tunings almost exclusively, and pros like Joni Mitchell and the late Dan Fogelberg have used them as well.

If I may suggest-bring down the high end EQ on your guitar just a bit.  It seems to be upstaging your voice.

Thanks Everyone for the Kind words and Great suggestions.
Yes Boobs rule!!!!  Maybe the next vid will have plenty of them.
I agree that the vocals were a bit low but they seemed to be too high if I moved it up just one notch. I also think when I added the 12 string to the song some of the frequencies then seemed to0 high. oh well, I will get it right someday.

I never really knew what alternative tunings were.  Then read a few books and realised I'd been using them for years.  In fact the only alternative tuning I used for a time was the standard tuning.  I love the sounds of the guitars in this.  Neat song.  Maybe the vocals could be up a bit.  But I like it as it is
Guild Starfire 5, Fender Telecaster, Fender Stratocaster, K Yairi and Walden and a 12 Stagg string acoustic guitar and other music making boxes - including mandolin, bouzouki and 5 string banjo, uke and acoustic bass - a few M-Audio keyboards and a flute - all played and treated with equal love and attention - zoom ut 2 pedal and Logic Pro X
