OK, I'm back tending my thread...my wife and I were collecting data on that Altoid thing. Not really, but I did detect a little spark of interest. Good enough for now.
All of these ideas are truly inspiring. I knew that this thread would take off for a life of its' own.
My pick locating life did not seem to be quite as bad as it is now that my son has converted to my yellow tortexes. I'm a music teacher and I never lose them at work because I have one of those sticky spring loaded things stuck in the cubby where I keep my guitar. Every once in a while though those school picks make their way home and they're lost forever in the black hole of our father-son guitar playing situation. I guess it's a small price to pay for the joy of sharing the same type of pick as my son (doesn't that just choke you up with sentiment?).
I'm not sure that I dare to put a sticky thing on my beautiful 76 Alvarez Yairi or 1919 Gibson A, but it may get to that. Does anybody know if the adhesive messes up the finish?
