Re: Question about Playing in Cold Weather
Man, oh man; other people's problems. My stepdaughter decided not to busk today because at -12 (10F) with a windchill of -20 (-4F), it's too cold to sing. She'd given up on taking her guitar out some time ago. And it's still early winter, not very cold yet.
Actually, I do empathize, Chuckie. You're trying to protect your instrument, and have to deal with your local climate. But someone from up north had to say something to the effect of what I did, so the rest can now see that it's been said, and stick to the topic.
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
