Last gig I decided to use shoulder of my clown barf pick. I may end up going with this in future
I use the shoulder nearly all the time, have for a long time. 5 or 6 years ago went to more rounded picks, regrettably having to go back because of arthritis. If I were playing a thinner pick or a standard teardrop the shoulder is what I would be using.
THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE JUST FOR YOUR SMILE!
Thanks Drew. I was just fooled by 'Even Steven'. I'll try to be smarter in the future.

“Sharps/Flats” ≠ “Accidentals”
Thanks for the kind words Ivan, and I'm glad you like my CD! You mentioned temperature affects the tone of your mandolin, my old Gilchrist has always seemed to "like" humid days. I don't know if it's really the mandolin, or just the way sound travels through humid air. But whatever it is, weather does affect tone, or the way we hear it.
Interestingly, I was chatting to Caleb Klauder after a gig in the UK last week, and he said that humid conditions really bring out the best in his mandolin. Said it sounds best in Louisiana! His Sullivan sounded great in Leeds, West Yorkshire! He was generous enough to allow me a couple of minutes on it - very low action, one piece back, loud and punchy.
