'Confusing. The title of the post refers to "tunes in the key of C#minor," but the tunes listed are not in that key, but feature steel players using that tuning.

I'm sure Rob meant c#min tuning,that was one of my favs while taking lessons from JB.
"Aloha Tears","Sweet Someone",Paradise Isle" I love That minor ninth and seventh sound,so vintage.

Yup......Just curious about the tuning and who used it or uses it....Boot Heel Drag was the first tune I learned on it. Fun tuning......

Yeah, I knew that, just couldn't resist going somewhat off-topic!

Hula Blues

La Rosita

Near The Cross

Pretty Red Hibiscus

South Sea Moon
