Kendall, I guess you may have noticed that your supporters on here, are really behind you continuing to play.

As far as tendinitis, as someone mentioned earlier, my doctor turned me onto a little trick that works great...let's say it's your left hand that goes numb, take your right hand, and just put pressure above your elbow, of the left hand...as if you're crossing your arms, press into the nerve of the numb arm. The numbness will magically dissipate. You may have to feel around to find the nerve, but once you do, you'll know it. You can also, easily do it on stage, and nobody will know.....just behind the elbow, on the back side.
I hope others reading this, may benefit from this handy little trick.

Regards...and keep playing...we need more musicians, and less politicians!!
