I am a serious about playing guitar, play multiple times a day. Last night I cut my left index finger while chopping onions with a new knife. Despite a $150 "co-pay" per visit to Convenient Care, something told me not to mess w/ it. The Dr. took it seriously, 3 stitches and a splint, antibiotics, even.
My next gig is a big one for me, Montage Grill in Rochester, which brings in all these great artists, May 6, less than 2 weeks. I could not keep from playing, had previously toyed with slide, got more serious, and also figured out what I can play with 3 fingers, can't do major bar chords, but strangely, can get through the Cole Porter tune "Night and Day," even my moody classical/jazz intro, but this is a little scary. Matt, pianist, duo mate, will probably end up doing more. I can play my new weird roots rock version of "Hound Dog" using 3 fingers in a dropped D tuning and slide, and it feels like that will be happening. But I have hours of songs to work out and only 3 fingers on my left hand. Wish me luck here. I can't type so well, either.
