Cruel

Posted by wannabepicker on Tuesday, May 19, 2009

So, I am making progress, cured my BAS and what happens ...

A knife goes the wrong the way and I nearly cut off my left ring finger. A trip to the ER, 3 shots and 5 stitches later and I am on the banjo Disabled List for at least 2-3 more days minimum.

It is killing me.

You could swith to old-time...

From bluegrasswest.com, Pete's word:

"An OT (old time) banjo player can lose 3 right-hand fingers and 2 left-hand fingers in an industrial accident without affecting his performance."

Sorry about your injury. 

You could work on rolls, timing, tone while your left hand is healing.

Happened to me a year or so ago - cutting floor tiles and the knife took a slice of the tip of my left index finger - stitches in the emergency room, huge bandage.  Eventually after the healing I was left with a fine new finger tip and a scar. Plays as well as ever.  The scar reminds me to be careful!

Hoping to hear from you on the Neotech strap - Ian
