"Richard, I have one tuned Ebe, and one tuned AEA and I have tuned GDG originally. I have no idea what I am doing but I changed them from GDG because the box and string combo just sounded better in the other tunings."

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your generous commentary. Yes, I admit - I am partial to that early R&R vibe. The "Maybelline" progression works pretty well for most tunes of that genre. I've been playin' "Rocket 88" quite a bit lately.
