Posted by theduke on August 7, 2007, 1:34 pm, in reply to "Wasn't that a mighty storm" --Previous Message-- Tom Rush talks about how he plays it on his website. he uses the handle of a dull steel table knife. I don't recall the key, but he does an open tuning and just slides the knife up and down between the fifth fret and the 12 fret. That's it. Just two chords. I may not have it exactly right, so if you go to his website and look under FAQs, I think you'll find the answer......... theduke

: It seems unclear when and where this amazing
: song came from. Although it tells the story
: of the 1900 Galvestin hurricane and flood,
: it appears to have been written fairly
: recently. Tom Rush, Nanci Griffith, Roger
: McGuinn and the Chad Mitchell Trio (they
: called it Mighty Day) have done versions of
: it.
: Anyway,last year in the US Max Ochs played
: an amazing mournful version of it with a
: slide guitar and he sounded like Blind
: Willie Johnson. He said he had heard a
: preacher doing it unaccompanied and
: emanating from a sermon. He learned it from
: Tom Rush's slide version.
: SO, has anyone got TAB for this version,
: PLEASE?
