I am actuall on the east border of Iowa. Right along the muddy mississippi river.
I just ran outside and fired up the trucks and I now have a air temp of -16*f . God only knows what the wind chills are right now.
So , like you, I will be spending the day inside, Practicing/building up my finger calluses. I may need to head out for a little bit today so I can get a strap. That way I can get this guitar up off my leg and hold it a little higher. Maybe that will help me to hit string six with that stubby finger, hahahaha.
Respects, JB.
