GUEST,DonMeixner Guitar Injuries? (25) RE: Guitar Injuries? 17 Jul 11

I have reattached fingers as most everybody here knows. Along with that surgery I lost most of the feeling in my left index and middle finger. Once while changing a broken string in my banjo, Ode Long Neck, I left heaviest unwrapped string long as I had no cutters on stage. I got the wire on OK but when I went to tune it I ran the long wire under my index finger nail up as far as the first knuckle before I was aware of any pain. The bad thing is this wasn't the first time I did this.

The first row at an Irish fest in Elmira NY was visibly shaken. Blood flowed as did my language.
