Sorry, my mistake. That should have been Gorilla Suit Day.

From Wiki:
National Gorilla Suit Day
In 1963, Don Martin published National Gorilla Suit Day in a collection Don Martin Bounces Back, in which Fester Bestertester mocks the (then fictitious) concept of a National Gorilla Suit Day, and suffers a series of incredible assaults from gorillas and other creatures in gorilla and other suits.
Subsequently, Don Martin fans have celebrated National Gorilla Suit Day on January 31.

But have any of you used Gorilla Snot? Long & McQuade doesn't carry it, but they can and will order it. I was told that drummers, as well as guitar players use it.

I've never used it, but it sounds interesting since I generally use a pick while playing guitar and it occasionally goes flying away to parts unknown. I wonder, too, if a bit of GS on the index and second finger of the right hand might be good for playing/plucking on bass. After all, those string players use rosin on their bows. Hmm... I'll have to get a jar and see!

Good to see you've still got it.

I played mandolin in a bluegrass group and our guitar player used it. I borrowed some and liked it a lot. I was gonna start using it, but I realised that it's not a good idea if you fingerpick without picks and I often do.

I've gotten to that age where if I drop a pick on stage, I just leave it on the floor and grab another one from my pocket. Good job I don't use Blue Chips.

I would be the type of person you'd think is tailor made to use this stuff. I've got dry skin (therefore dry fingers) and I almost always use a pick.

But, so far, just licking my fingers once or twice and sticking (no pun intended!) with my trusty Brain picks has never let me down. I can count on my fingers how many times I've dropped a pick, or one went flying out of my hand for some reason, on one hand and it's only ever happened while practicing. I've never dropped one on stage (knock on wood really, really hard now that I said the dreaded never word!) LOL.

I once had someone notice and ask me why I licked my fingers sometimes. Did you have KFC for breakfast or something? LOL.

I just told them why and the light went on.

But, needless to say, I also never lend any of my picks out, not ones I've used anyways. I do have a small leather change purse with a batch of new ones in it just in case I do lose one though or someone else needs on in a pinch.
