Nicholas,  Thanks for your comment on "If Things Don't Change."   

You are right as can be about Highway 61 sounding better/ more bluesy and growling in the GDG tuning.  I couldn't do it at the time, but now I can.

I bet you are in a pretty area then.  Good luck with the pick  ups.  Interest seems heading that way.  I have no clue about it.  Check out Mike Anderson's photos.  They show a winder.  Keep plugging on the playing.  Most of us, me for sure, think our playing is lacking.

Hi Nicholas,  Thanks for your comments on Hi-way 61.   I don't know where in TN your place is, are you near the blues highway?
