Wish a few more current catters were interested, but hey, that's life.

Something I just thought of (because of Peter T's comments) is, what do ya do if you've got a wonky finger that just wont do the things it's supposed to ? (Peter does)

I no longer can use my left hand pinky in a significant way (cause I busted it doing a particularly violent string bend a few years ago...and I can't stop playing long enough for it to heal)

Two days into my leather carving hobby, I sliced my left hand index finger with a razor knife. Took seven stiches and couldn't barre for a year. Awfully glad I could use all those thumb chords in the meantime.

'Course perhaps I shouldn't DO violent string bends and play with sharp knives.
