Jeff, I'm falling behind; you played Friday night?  So what's the situation with the band?  And, does the doctor expect the finger to heal completely?

my friday night thing is with friends
sage tea?> am a session player there, no impetus from the leader to take it to the next level, so i keep looking for other bands,,,,,,,
yes no nerve damage- should heal naturally- will take time- wolf healed faster- i put a new set of strings on.,lol
so i am sliding a lot more and looking for different positions to play, mostly up the fretboard where i dont have to stretch as much
so its a good learning lesson dave...

I'm somewhat surprised no one's clamored for pictures yet, of both fish and finger..  What's up with that?
 
Glad to hear it's going well, Jeff..
 
John
