Thank you Keoki!
I have two Eharp songs which were recorded here in my studio recently and they are up on the Ron Turner ClicTab site. Thanks Ron.
"Tenderly" and one I wrote as a tribute to Eddie Alkire. I use the ten strings on the back neck of my D10 Carter for the tuning and it works great with thumb and 2 finger picks.
Songs #46 and #47. http://www.clictab.com/royt/tabmenu.htm |

| I knew Eddie Alkire personally, I took lessons from him and played the "Eharp" tuning for many years, I have an album recorded by Eddie, he played all kinds of music,really knew that tuning that he established, when pedals came into the steel I also used top neck E9th and bottom with the the "Eharp" tuning, did anyone hear Claudie Brownell on the Eharp,he was fantastic...Bob... |

| The late Claude Brownell was really great on the E-Harp. He used a 10 string 30 inch scale on a guitar the late Freeman Cougar built him.I have videos of him at a couple of our Steel Shows we had here in Ohio. I think I also have a couple cuts on a CD he made me for a project we were working on when he died. Great guy that never got the recogniton he deserved. Ed Naylor Steel Guitar Works. |

| Ed, claude and I were students of Eddie Alkire at the same time, he was Eddie's favorite student and it was not hard to see why, it was you that told me of his death which was a shock, he had played as a guest just recently on a job our band was playing and was also a friend of the leader of the band yet nobody knew of his passing, wish all could have heard him...Bob... |
