Fascinating stuff, Dave. Bluegrass banjo player Eddie Adcock went through something similar in 2008 to correct muscle tremors in his hands. He came through town here for a concert several years later and was effortlessly ripping off banjo breaks and said he felt great.

This reminds me of something a surgeon once said to me during a pre-op appointment. He said "bring your guitar" (to the surgery)! What a joker.
