A short while back, Christine forwarded me a website: Guitar Picks. What an ingenious idea...why didn't i come up with it myself? Well, as i was cleaning out some junk mail today, i came across some guitar pick material. I thought i'd give it a try. Interestingly enough, the "credit card picks" work really well. One complaint that i do have is that the picks were a little too slick. A little gorilla snot would cure that. So, thanks to American Express, i know have 3 new guitar picks.
Now, if i could fashion some guitar strings out of something, i'd be set. Hmmm...cat gut? Didn't they use to make tennis racket strings out of cat gut? Yesterday while playing on the Strat i broke a string. I don't have any spares...so the Strat is temporarily out of commission.
What can you make out of your junk mail?

Cat gut is the name applied to cord of great toughness and tenacity prepared from the intestines of the sheep or goat, or occasionally from those of the hog, horse, mule, pig, and donkey. Those of the cat are not employed, and therefore it is supposed that the word is properly kitgut ("violin string"), kit meaning "fiddle," and that the present form has arisen through confusion that kit = cat. Another explanation of the origin of the cat in catgut is that it is an abbreviation for cattle which originally denoted not only cows, but all types of livestock.
WWOP!!
