I'm not sure how much wide appeal it would have, though. It's probably not as well known as some of the other Simon material.

I capo it at 2 or 3 depending on the night. 50 Ways is a cool tune. I'll have to look into it. I've been working lately on Me and Julio. That's one's about ready to play out. I've messed around with Drops of Jupiter before. I've never been able to do it in a key that I was happy with the vocals. Pat Monahan's voice is so freaking high.

  4. Here's my fairly current list: Dixeland Delight - Alabama Ramblin

That's a pretty good looking list of songs. Nice mix of classics (70s) and more modern (last 15-20 years) stuff, as well as a few new tunes. Should work well.

  10. The sixth string tuner of my Seagull S6 is getting harder and harder to turn. I'd like to change it by myself. But, first, I have to choose a new one(s) and there are so many options. Seagull guitars are equipped with 14:1 tuners. 12:1 are more accurate? Of course, I don't want to spend too much (no Waverly). Have someone already done this? Many thanks. Have you tried loosening the screw on the button? On some tuners, how tight you make that screw determines how freely the button turns. I changed the tuners on my Seagull parlor and my Larrivee. I went with Gotoh 410s. I really like the performance of the tuner, but the pegs are pretty short. They work fine, it's just more of a challenge to change the strings because of the short pegs. Seagulls have unique tuners. They don't have a set screw to hold the tuner in place, but rather a few "claws" that dig into the wood. If you go with new tuners, you will most certainly have to get a luthier to do it.
