I prefer heavier jackets in the winter.

I prefer climates where winter doesn't require heavier jackets.

ME TOO Bob, maybe even NO jackets.

Just to add another source for lemon oil: Whole Foods Market
They carry the Aura Cacia brand 100% Pure Essential Lemon Oil, for about $5 for a half ounce.

Yup, same brand, same store I found it at. It does a wonderful job. But yeesh, it's gone up $3 in two years. Must be only the best lemmons...

Ah, now you made me edit my post...$5 sounds much better.

Believe it or not, you can find Pure Lemon Oil in most Bath & Body Stores.

Barry - I like the old Belden 8424 for the 5-pin cables. It had a natural rubber jacket and it was HEAVY. If you were nice to that wire, it wouldn't curl and it always rested flat on the stage.

I don't like cables where they go all coily even with proper storage techniques.

For pure lemon oil, you can also get it at most health food stores in the aromatherapy section.

About twice a year I do the 'fingerboard job': I tape off the f'board between the frets with that blue 3M lo-tack masking tape and use a very fine grade sanding sponge to shine up the frets, followed by steel wool to get that mirror finish. I'll run a toothpick (although those bamboo skewers work better and are virtually unbreakable) at the foot of the fret on each side to collect that crud. Then I pull the tape and put the lemon oil on and let it soak for about 20 minutes. Then I wipe off the remainder, new strings put on, tune, check the action/harmonics (waste of time, my neck has not appreciably moved in five years), and play the stretch out of the new strings. Done, it feels great!
