John Bilezikjian, a phenomenal oud player and really cool guy, died of kidney disease on January 19. Some of us will recall his appearances at Donna Curry’s seminars in the 1980s, and memorable jam sessions with Jurgen Hubscher at John's house afterwards, while his wife stuffed us full of Armen

I've used newskin liquid bandage but don't like the sound I get with it. Fabric bandages make a nice sound, not like real thumb flesh, but nice. Sent from my Ouija board > On Jan 29, 2015, at 10:29 AM, "Charles Mokotoff" wrote: > > [1]http://www.newskinproducts.com/products/liquid_bandage.

Hi folks - I am having serious issues with cracked skin on my thumb. about where it contacts the string, because of the dry winter weather here in the north. I am using band-aids to keep the crack closed, but the ones that I have tried all are too slippery to get a good sound on the lute string
