Garry where are you finding that to be Santo's C#m7 tuning? I wouldn't think that tuning would ever be classified as C#m since it's missing that top minor triad which you would need to make it a C#m tuning.
I have his C#m7 tuning as E-C#-G#-E-D-B-G#-E. Case in point: You can't play that 6 fret G minor in "Teardrop" without that unless you were to skip that B string, which would be impossible at that speed. |

Check out the magazine "Aloha Dreams" put out by Basil Hendricks. He analyzed the 1959 TV appearance of Santo and Johnny and came up with some convincing tab using this tuning. There's a nice article that starts on page 17 with the tab starting on page 20.

C#min7. Notes of C# minor 7th chord are C#, E, G# and B |

Absolutely no disprespect to Basil who I think is a masterful Steeler by all respects, here is what Guy Cundell has proposed in his research. And while I think some may not take his word as gospel, I think his writings are exceedingly well resourced and thought out:
| Quote: |
Allan, I have researched and written about the tuning in two studies, 'Across the Pacific' in 2014 and more extensively in 'Across the South' Ch4, last year.
The name has historical significance rather than theoretical. Yes, it is E6, but whenever I see C#m mentioned, I expect the perfect 4th interval between strings 2 & 3 which sets the tuning apart, along with F#9, both with origins in the early 1930s.

The conversation on here is quite enlightening! Thanks for pointing this out Garry! |
