Anyone besides me remember what show that 2 liner was in?

Drop tuning is tuning one or more guitar strings lower than "normal".

along with records or the radio to learn a song and I didn't know about
drop tunings and I found all kinds of strange ways to play songs that I
found out later were in drop tuning. Yea those days made you work for it!


What is 'drop tuning'? Ken

From: Wikipidea
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suite:_Judy_Blue_Eyes

"Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" is a song — or rather, a suite of short
songs or sections — written by Stephen Stills and performed by
Crosby, Stills and Nash, which first appeared on their self-titled
debut album in 1969. It was also released as a single(edited and
in mono), going to #21 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. The
song is ranked #418 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest
Songs of All Time.

The group has performed this song many times, most famously at
the Woodstock and Live Aid festivals. The title is presumably a
play on words for "Sweet Judy Blue Eyes."

The acoustic guitar for the song is tuned to a very unusual tuning.
Rather than the strings being tuned to the traditional EADGBE,
they are instead tuned to EEEEBE. Stills used this same tuning for
"4+20". He uses a similiar tuning for "Carry On" but drops the
notes down one half step. (EbEbEbEbBbEb)

I don't remember much of anything good about the old days. They're gone-
that's good. Mostly I remember JFK's death, duck and cover drills, Cuban
Missiles, Vietnam body counts, Selma, Watts, Newark, then RFK and Martin
Luther King,

I remember JFK.. I remember his and dream, and Americans
putting a man on the moon...

I remember AM radio when it was king.

Life was good.

Hey,

How does it go? Dope smoking, long hair, maggot infested, hippy FM jocks?

I'm a very late Boomer- JFK disappeared early on, the rest of the '60s in
NYC area anyway was tumultuous, putting nicely. Cousin Brucie was god
though.

I was in the 6th grade when JFK was killed and the
Beatles first came on the scene.
It was a very interesting time to be growing up.

Watched every space shot there was, just eat it up.
Got my first transistor radio for my birthday
just before Alan Shepard's first sub orbital flight,
a little green Motorola that I still have.
In the forth grade my teacher asked me to bring my
radio to class the next day so we could listen to John Glen
first real orbital flight... I got to sit in class all day listening
with my ear phone with instructions to interrupt if anything
interesting happened. I was the RADIO MAN, it ruined me.

73 all,

Lest we forget, "The gun control act of 1968" and wage and price
controls. Charles Manson and the Manson Family. The Symbionese
Liberation Army. The John Birch Society. The Great Society. Students
for a Democratic Society. And with Watergate, the media's ascension
to serial killer status in that from that time forward, they've made
it their goal to destroy anyone in office.

Oh, and personally, graduating from high school just in time for the
first collapse of the aerospace industry. "Help wanted: Service
station attendant. NO engineers!"

Oh yeah, trying to make sense of it all trying to grow up living under
the fear of a nuclear holocaust or ending up as a box gift wrapped by
the Army.

The only nice thing about that time was not knowing about AIDS,
crack cocaine, crystal meth, disco or reality TV.
