I've been playing open D minor since I was 16. It's a wonderful key, I use it for bottleneck and chords also. I've developed my own
chords over the years, I guess they may be written somewhere, I don't know.
I've only ever recorded 2 pieces with it. One many years ago on Dobro. Recently
a track which I believe maybe a today's vierson of Delta. I spent many years
playing Delta blues and this is a sound and style that is very dear to me. The
open tuning gives this blues such deep soul. I have a great regard for the
blues guys from this era, Skip James, Son House, Bukka White, Charlie Patton
and Big Bill Broonzy, I love them all. I believe from listening to them has
given me the freedom in my soul to play what I do today.
