Thanks for all the tips, guys!
I've got to admit it, spit works............

Propick, or Jeff Newman. Either or. Just falls off mostly, or gets caught in a string.
I'll definitely try spit, thanks!

I don't remember having this trouble when I played decades ago. Just starting back again, and no matter how I adjust it, can't seem to get it to stay on my middle finger.
Ideas or suggestions? Gorill ...

I know it may sound silly, but is this a humbucking pickup? If so, I'd be interested.

Fred, is that a humbucking pickup?

Olin, is this a humbucking pickup?

Need for my lap steel.

So......what are you getting to replace it?

Steve, are these still available?

I had been searching high and low for a Western Swing version of Panhandle Rag. Not only did I get that, but I had also been trying to find a decent one of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Found all sorts, ...
