Thing is though, some of them live through us in a way. Like you said, she encouraged you with that tuning, and that's actually a part of her being passed along the line. So in that, it's cool. Better to actually have them around in person though, I know, but if something of theirs is passed along, it's like they keep living.

she passed away on April 12th.
at age seventeen she joined a bnad and gigged right off all over Alaska and then made the 50's country swing scene in California and Texas.
she was one of the few women that played steel guitar.
highly respected, charming and talented.

I discovered her on a DVD; Tex Ritter's Rockin at the Ranch.
shortly after I read an article about her in Vintage Guitar magazine; written by Cindy Cashdollar.

Marian and I wrote to one another briefly over the last two years.
she encouraged me to tackle C6.

rest in peace darlin']]> Slide and Alternate tunings dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/passing-of-a-great-slide-player/#post-18105
