I believe the arrangements are similar. Yes, taking lessons with Dave was "an experience". i went into greenwhich village for about a year to take lessons with Dave. Although, I think there were some breaks here and there.

Thanks for the tunings, Simplelines. There I was feeling smug, having worked "Keep it clean" in open C, with a way to keep that bass line rolling like on the recording ... I'll give it a try in the dropped C you've identifed, but may I ask what it was that clued you that it was that tuning? Are there parts that it makes it easier to play--or anything else you'd care to comment on? Thanks.
I tried to pick out Another Tme and Place last night but my ears aren't great... According to the list it's played in standard tuning but to me the F# base for the D chord doesn't sound right. I decided it sounds better with a double D base and drop D tuning. Capo at the second fret.
Do any of you wizards know which base he played on the D chord? Thanks in advance Yogi Laura
Hi Yogi. Johnm kindly tabbed "Another Time and Place" for me some time ago. He has it in standard in E and I'm pretty certain that's how Dave would have played it, too. Though I'm sure it could sound good in drop D. I think I might record this song this weekend it's so lovely
E! That's a surprise, I could have sworn it was in the key of D.
Looking forward to hearing your version should you decide to post it for us. /Yogi Laura
Here ya go, Yogi. Sorry about all the mistakes I haven't played this for a long time and had no time to practice. I totally cheat on the B chord because it's quite a complicated little pull-off thing he does but this sort of works! Oh and to completely confuse things I'm tuned down a whole step and capo'd up to the first fret
Cheers for that Laura, I really appreciate it! Practice or no practice, it still sounds nice, I think you should be proud. And you have a lovely voice as well! When I try to sing it it sounds like sh*t.
I'm still playing it in D, it sits so well there and one can play it almost efforlessly though I probably miss out on some of the sounds and I do have to battle the "drone" from the base. Thanks again for posting this and accepting the challange :-) Yogi michael
Hey ,
I know I'm a bit late but is "Another Time and Place" featured in any of the music-books? Slagathor
it's awesome you took lessons from Dave Van Ronk. I've been trying to learn Jivin Man Blues for a couple of days now. Do you think you might have the tabs for that song?

Hi everyone. I'm a few years late, but here's my contribution. One correction to the original list is that "Jesus Met the Woman" is in Drop D.
Standard
Drop D

I know this is a bit of a zombie thread, but does anyone know where a recorded version of Dave Van Ronk playing The Katoomba Rumba might be found? My teacher took some lessons from him and has taught it to me but I would love to hear Dave's original.
According to the Dave Van Ronk discography at the Stefan Wirz site, Dave never recorded the piece on a commercially available disc or LP.

Hi David: If all else fails, ask Elijah Wald.Thanks Stuart. I had already done that, he didn't know of one so I thought I would crowd source here. Looks like John Miller gave me my answer.
