Thanks again, Fiddler2007. Standard tuning it is. I really don't want to spend a lot of time trying to work out something that isn't going to work out in standard tuning. I think I'll be able to figure out the guitar chord shapes and work it out from there.
Thanks, Mr. Guy for the common sense advice about the bass box. I'm sure to get hungry sooner or later; I'll learn how to use the spoons.
Thanks to Big Nick & everyone for this website. It's a great resource for anyone interested in learning about and/or how to play this wonderful music.
(Hmmmmm? Now I'm wondering if this tune can be played on the accordion? (Oh well, back to the lurker's corner.)
