Thanks Ken, glad you like our version!

On the CD you mention I played it on a tuning invented by Dale King  
where 2 & 3 draw are tuned a whole tone lower so you have a Dm draw  
chord and a C blow chord on a harp in C. It's kind of 3rd position  
but with better chording options. Of course St. James lays out very  
well in 5th but I like my chords ;-)
