Everybody seem to like the last Mississippi Fred McDowell video. So here is another, thanks to YouTube. And for all you guitar players out there, this note was also provided:
This is from a web page written by Brian Robertson - "Mississippi Fred McDowell used the D tuning on a fairly regular basis, and one of the advantages is that it allows the high string (D) to play melody or, more often, to play along with the singer, as in his classic, "You Got to Move"
BTW - 'open D' is D A D F# A D

what a coincidence
i was thinking of lemon squeezing earlier (breast self exam).
i know they're usually called melons,
but lemonland.org calls them lemons.
martinklasch sent me.
modmom, welcome. Feel free to tell us all about it, squeezing lemons/melons that is.
I use to give free breast exams myself, but Mrs. F. doesn't allow me to do that any more. ;)
