The thing I've found that really helps keep the picks on also serves a second
purpose: I've found the copper in the brass of the picks turned my fingers
green and the zinc dries my cuticles so they split (the cuticle, not the pick).
I have painted the insides of all my picks with clear nail polish (nail
enamel for the upper crust, but cheap nail polish works just as well, and is,
well,
cheaper), which prevents the finger damage/defacement and I've also found
that the polish stays semi-tacky. This treatment needs repeating about every
ninety days when I play Friday and Saturday nights in a bar and in church on
Sundays.

SSP: This Saturday I'll play in Emporia Kansas at Desperado's and the
following weekend in St. Joseph, Mo at the Buffalo Bar. No reso content there,
it's
a hard-core, "honest-to-Merle" (my phrase, but it gets the point across, don't
it?) traditional country band with all the honk, tonk and twang left in.
www.myspace.com/jodyscottandtoocountry is the (very ugly, but it's his, not
mine)
website, and I'll be happy to share some MP3s from the new CD (EMAIL A
REQUEST OFF-LIST, not here, email me privately). As soon as I get around to
putting
a pickup on the Dobro, I think I'm gonna play it, but with a Tele and a
plugged-in fiddle which runs through a Nashville 1000 (what does a fiddle player
need 300 W RMS for?), a mic just ain't gonna cut it.
