Now that those of us are in the northern hemisphere are in the grip of winter, ain't it a ***** to be playing with sub-zero blood in your fingers? I tell ya, it cramps my style a bit. How do you other northern guys get along with this? For me, the chords sound a bit muddied when I play with mitts on.

I'm rather cold right how. Had to repair my golf cart, and the temp dropped into the 40's today.
But, it had to be done, because the forecast is upper 60's by Friday, and I wouldn't want to miss my golf game!

I've always felt that if the temperatures dips below 75 degrees it's the dead of winter. My fingers, and other body parts, seem to function much better when they're warm. Right now, the wind chill is -12 degrees here and there is a dusting of snow on the ground. Damned I hate winter.

Keep warm,

Gary

Hey, fair comment, guys. The reason I'm bitchin' is that up here in the Great White North of Alberta we hit -44C (yessir, that's a minus! Hey, Saskabush got it worse than that) with the windchill the other night. I'd be running around in shorts at the temps you guys mention (that's not for public consumption, though)!

Had to put a watch cap, scarf and gloves on to get to the mailbox this morning. 53 degrees. But it will get better.

Have a tall glass of Kickapoo Joy Juice and you won't need a fireplace.
