I'm sorry to hear about the wrist issues, but does that mean SNBT will be doing a cover of that Lulu song?;)

Get better soon.

Best wishes! (I get confused for being gay too, if that's any consolation...)

Just one of the symptoms of being a dirty old man, I suppose. Don't hurt too bad G!

Ach! That Lulu, or in this case the Lulu. I for one would not sing along. Although credit where it's due for her skull of helmet hair, of which not one strand has moved since the day "To sir..." was first recorded, that's talent

I hope your wrists feel better too! I find a good slathering of celery-seed oil, administered routinely helps for arthritic nastiness... Actually, I find a slathering of oil good even without the nastiness

the nastyness is just icing on an already slippery cake

Squidflakes · Post by **Squidflakes** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 3:28 pm

I've stopped keeping track of what people think, I've been mistaked for everything from a lesbian girl to a gay boy.

Good luck with the wrists.

When I played accordion for this one girl at a Lilith Fair show in Toronto a few years ago people saw me on stage and thought "damn.... KD Lang has really let herself go."

The accordion? Dude, if you have hand and wrist problems that's the last thing you want to subject them to. When we saw C.J. Chenier in concert he had braces and ice on his hands by the end of the night.

Depends on what you play and how your instrument is set up. Zydeco and cajun players tend to have their key action set way wide, which means you really have to push down on the keys. If your action is set high, the keys barely move and you don't need to use much pressure at all. Also depends on how you hold the instrument and how your straps are rigged. I swear that cajun players manage to play despite the way they hold their instruments. They play on the draw, rather than the push, they tend to hold the box hanging almost sideways so they have to fight gravity and end up with hellacious hand and wrist positions, and the way they rig their straps almost guarantees that they'll end up with a destroyed left shoulder. Chenier is the king of cool, but I wouldn't ever try and play the way he does.
