			 THERE STANDS THE GLASS 
 (Russ Hull/Mary Shurtz/Michael Pierce, Unichappel Music/Jamie Music BMI)
       (sung by Ted Hawkins on the album "The Next Hundred Years)

Ted tuned his guitar to a "dropped D" (DADF#AD) and occassionally to a
dropped C (!).  He then capo-ed up to the third, fourth or fifth fret and
played almost exlusively open chords.  His right hand strumming
technique was unusually relaxed and musical; in my opinion that's what
accounted for his lovely sound.  And of course, there's his astounding
voice!

This tune has the guitar tuned to dropped D and capo-ed at the third
fret.  I show the chords as the positions at which they are barred.
