Fahey: a couple of questions

[Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com>]

Much has been said about Fahey's experiments with electronic music and 
electric guitar
later in his life but i can't seem to find examples of any of it on the 
web.
I subscribe to Rhapsody but they only have his acoustic stuff up to as 
late as 2003.

What electric records did he put out and has anyone heard the fabled all 
electronica record
he's rumored to have released?  I'd love to hear that.

While we are at it.........................
take a gander at this lovely rendition of the Red Pony from an early TV 
show.

Can anyone hip me to the tuning he's using on this song.

It looks like he rarely frets the lowest three strings (are they 
referred to as the top strings or the botton strings, as
they are physically on the top of the guitar relative to the floor but 
they are the lowest notes on the guitar)
except in the intro and outro with the short walking base line played 
with a thumb.

I know it's considered bad technique but I'm loving using my thumb to 
fret the bass strings on some chords.
It just feels more comfortable to my hand than the typical barre chords 
that everyone uses.
