This is from a tab that I purchased from a student of Dick McIntire back in the '40s. I only recently realized that I never actually heard Dick play this tune.
You'll have to check it out on my blog for the full story and the tab, etc. I hope to record this arrangement in the style of Dick McIntire soon (I have some time off this week!).

I haven't played much with C# minor tuning, but this looks like a great start. I look forward to hearing your version, Mike!

Brad, it's actually a pretty easy conversion from A tuning--you're only lowering string 3 a 1/2 step. I know you play in G, so you'd get Bmi7 tuning if you lowered string 3. Give it a try.

| Thanks for posting your work on this piece, Mike. It's packed with lots of neat bits of McIntire vocabulary. After playing around with it on a retuned C6, I've decided to try F#9th (just ordered the strings) and delve further into DM land. |

Cool, Scott. I've got more coming in that tuning.

Great! I'll look forward to it...
In the meantime, I hope you don't mind me adding some "supplemental" material to your thread. I found this courtesy of Andy Volk and felt it worth reposting for those similarly interested:
