Let's see??? Oh, about every 50 years??? lol...

I've been playing with the same finger picks for well over 20 years now... Maybe 30 years... I have plastic Dunlop thumb and 1st finger picks and a generic metal one I use on my middle finger... These are my picks... If I lost one I would be very depressed...

BTW, if anyone wants to see them, go to Cigar Box Nation and find my page (Sidewalk Bob) and scroll down to the pic of me playin' my Lowebow cigarbox geetar... I think they all can be seen in that pic...

As for flat pickin'/strummin', I use my "California Nails"... I call it "the hammer" and will only allow "Henri" to build/install it (aboput every 3 weeks)...
