Tom,
Thanks much!
The link you posted isn't working for me, unfortunately. It's taking me to Facebook (which I'm already signed onto), and saying you have to sign in. Seems weird. Would you be able to email it it directly to me?
jfog10 AT comcast.net
I'm also happy to host it on my website if others want it.
Much appreciated! |

Jim,
Will send to your email. I'd originally posted on the Lap Steel Jazz page on FB...thanks for that catch I'll edit the URL out of my post.

I'm about 3/4 through a new book to be called Lap Steel Moods that looks at the differences between C6th, D9th, E9th, E13th and F#9th including intervals and chord forms in the McAuliffe and Boggs versions of E13th. It will include 25 songs, 12 of which are in E9th and E13th.

Andy, your books feature prominently in my lap steel journey, so please let me know if you're doing pre-sales or crowd funding the publication! Looking forward to it...what's the ETA?

Tom, no crowd-funding or pre-sales yet. It will be available on my website, amazon and a few stores, hopefully, in early 2020.

| I put Leon's E13 on a Stringmaster and spent 6 months woodshedding it in Las Vegas hotel rooms while I played pedals on my steady gig. I found the tuning kinda restless and finally started to view it as the V chord in a given song. I attribute this notion to the lack of an E note in the middle of the tuning. That said I did work up a couple Jerry Byrd tunes, notably Estralita which laid out extremely well. Eventually with the advice of Tom Morrell and Murph I replaced it with Murph's E13 which he called C#min and I found more viable on standard tunes and changes. I believe Cindy uses that one too. |

Michael,
What exactly was Murphy's C#min? That's really great that you were able to get it straight from the man himself.

Thank you, Michael! Can't wait to try this tuning, it looks like single note passages would work pretty well with the E major scale tones laid out like that.
Thanks again. |

| If you can find a copy of Red Simpson's last CD "The Bard of Bakersfield",I'm playing steel throughout but am playing that tuning on a few tunes on a Stringmaster. It's great for bluesy Western Swing. |

It's at the printer now. I'm awaiting the proof and I hope to have the books in stocking ready to ship in about 2-3 weeks at volkmediabooks.com.
