If you're still collecting resources for The Wanderer website 
at jmdl.com, Sue, here's another good one I've just found on
Warren Allen's website at 

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/WarrenAllen/tunings.htm

- an interesting selection of tunings and who uses them - from
Nick Drake's Dsus4 and Gadd9, Ledward Kaapana's Hawaiian
slack key 'wahine tuning' (Gmaj7), Cheryl Wheeler's Asus4 ('If It 
Were Up To Me'), Tom Rush's Open B (for 'Urge for Going', he 
thinks), what he calls 'Bruce Palmer modal tuning' (used by 
Steven Stills - on Suite: Judy Blue Eyes) and many many more 
(including Joni's Am7add9 for 'Help Me').

Talking of Nick Drake, I hear his sister (actress Gabrielle Drake)
is currently working with Cally, John Wood and Joe Boyd on a 
new CD of material culled from Nick's home tapes and other 
sources (tentatively called 'Family Tree') which they are aiming 
to release in the coming year - see

Happy new year, all
