I shared this in the "Chimes With Three Picks" thread but thought I would make a new topic because I was so fascinated with what I found. I use three picks and typically mute with the tip of my pinky finger.
Today during lunch I made my periodic trip to the pistol range. I pinched by pinky finger between the magazine and magazine well while tapping in the magazine. This caused a big blood blister that needed some antibiotic and and a band-aid. At tonight's gig I found that I got an incredible bell like chime by muting with the band-aid off the back of the third joint of my finger! I may just make this band-aid permanent!

Bill, this could only happen to you!
You may very well have started a trend.
Let's get a table at the next steel show and sell Dr. Cunningham's Medicated Harmonic Healing Strips! |

Aaaaaaaaaaagh!
Bill, you left out all the needed details so we can do it, too!
What was the brand of band-aid you used?
What size is it?
What brand of antiseptic?
What was the antiseptic setting on the band-aid (dry, damp or wet)?????
Just a joke...................pat  |

Was the antibiotic applied internally= orally or externally= locally. So many questions...

Darrell, I think we should call them Chime-AIDS. And now we need to cut Ken Pippus in n the action for the black idea.
You guys are a riot. But seriously, give it a try and see if you have the same results! Just curious....
