at a flea market. A Winchester for a good price. Pretty sharp, I actually think the guy selling them sharpened them. Saturday (4/26) I'm in Manhattan visiting friends and family. My wife buys some sunglasses from a street vendor and asks me to cut the tag off. A very easy job for my teeth, but I see it as a chance to use my new knife (I'm so tough). I pull out the Winchester, cut the tags off, and slice the tip of my left ring finger pretty much off. It didn't actually fall, but was close. Luckily, New Yorkers are actually pretty nice and helpful in times of crisis and I was able to get to an urgent care facility and have it stitched back together.
So here's why I post (other than making all of you feel smarter, as I am really stupid): I have stitches holding my fingertip on until 5/6, but a week of recording booked beginning 5/2. I'm right handed, so my left ring finger is pretty important (especially since I don't do much more than Chuck Berry style leads). I'm pretty okay with a slide, but this record doesn't have much slide on it. Any advice?
If not, feel free to post sarcastic comments making fun of me, I'm actually getting quite a laugh out of this whole thing.
