It took me a lot of close listening at 1/2-speed to catch exactly what Simpson was doing on this one, and I ran through a couple of pretty exotic tunings (well, he is very fond of 'em) before deciding it was, after all, in standard... and then I asked Simpson himself after a gig, only to be told it was in dropped D. (All of which only concerns 3 notes in measure 10 in any case.) Please feel free to mail me and say hello - all comments, corrections, and general feedback very welcome.
