    Fell in love with this melody 26 yrs ago, when I heard it being performed Live by Ry Cooder and David Lindley. Originally written for a harp (you can sense the harp runs), I've been curious about a suitable open tuning that would emulate the harptuning instead of the (assumingly) awkwardness of playing the song in standard tuning. I don't read music. Have been able to support a professional career playing an Open D/Open G (DADGBD) cross tuning since the early/mid 70's. Happy to find your DADGAD-version. Time to have a go at this beautiful piece of music. Thank you!

    To me this is too contrived; trying to be too "arty", and over-technical. It doesn't flow, as the tune does when played on the harp, as composed in the 1600's by Turlough O'Carolan . Some of the best versions are by that greatest of Uilleann pipers; Liam O'Flynn. I know it's all a matter of taste, but I prefer it in its original style.
