Indie... hahahahhaa!

The nail polish and such strengtheners never worked for me. I have extremely soft nails. The only ones that are "standard human strength" naila are those that I damaged violently while working and that is due to the reaction to such trauma because I have mild psorisis. That stuff just made using picks a chore when I had to and made pain when I did mess up a nail. Kinda like drivin a 4X4 in the backwoods... ya go where a regular truck won't go so, when ya do get stuck, ya REALLY get stuck. But, yeah, pickin with natural nails, painted or not, beats picks anyday.

Regular disclaimer... I was not ever a good player in the LEAST! Nor I am anywhere near qualified to comment on such matters. I sounded okay in the kitchen when everyone was under the inluence. Well, at least when *I* was. Maybe when the others told me I was entertaining they were just being polite, eh? >;-) (That includes YOU, buddy... the last person that ever heard me strum a string... you know who you are. When you said here in Mudcat you enjoyed it, my heart soared. Thanks again. If you ever drop in again, I'll have a go on yer geetar fer old time's sake. But, ya gotta bring that there good whiskey again. I still have the glasses... thanks.)
