My fave! Open D tuning that you taught me because I said I couldn't figure out the guitar part. That was at Folk City. I still have the signed Close To the Bone LP. Beautiful version. Love it. I often play it.
Thanks Ronnie. I have to say that, over the years, Open D tuning, and variants of it, were my preferred tunings for most of the songs I sang. It is only one half tone down, on the G string, from DADGAD but, to my ears, it has an earthier feel, specially when you use modal chords. It fitted the traditional songs so well because of the drone effect of those modal chords. Strangely, it is a tuning frequently used by traditional blues players.

Love the beautiful harmony!
Great job on the blending of two great voices. And thanks for explaining how the "dear" got in there.
