Slip Resistant Drawer and Shelf Liner Just be sure it doesn't include adhesive.

I surveyed picks to find the kind most comfortable. For me, Fender Mojo picks have worked well. More than a pick, it's a sleeve that fits over a standard pick. This allows you to select the thickness you prefer. The sleeve gives a firmer grip. I'm hoping your recovery goes well and quickly.

I'd be ungrateful if I didn't put in a good word for Keith Klikas. He's been both knowledgeable and helpful.

Well done! And thank you for keeping Evel's memory alive. I remember a television program that featured Evel and his orthopaedic surgeon in a split screen pesentation. Evel was in his closet and described all his extraordinary clothes. The surgeon showed x-rays of Evel's joints and bones. At the...
