Re: Thumb Pick
I too use a thumb pick, due to arthritis. I like the Herco picks which have to be softened in hot water and moulded to the shape of my thumb.
However, my new favourite thumb pick is the Black Mountain from British Columbia, with a spring which helps it fit different sized thumbs, and provides a firm grip.
(I'm not a leftie, it's a mirror image.)

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."
