soft oak, which was the first rosin I tried that made me say "Oh, hey now" and is no longer available.

This^^^
I purchased a New Old Stock cake of Oak last Dec., and it is, by far, the best rosin I have used in My 50 Yr. Struggle (tm).
"Hey Now", Indeed. Hank Kingsley rules.
Thx.

...or you may start looking for a string that is low-tension, cheap, and is good for both Arco AND Pizz.
Thx.

Already got a set! Gracefully aging Spirocores.

Practiced with the Carlsson today and it's great. I'm going to be next level on my gig tonight when I play those 3 tied whole notes at the end of a song spread out across 2 sets.

I'll bet someone from the audience approaches me after and says "Excuse me, but I thought I detected something Swedish about your tone tonight."

"Excuse me, but I thought I detected something Swedish about your tone tonight."

"FArco" - the latest film from the Coen Bros., starring TroyK.

Looks like an amusing practice-avoidance-activity.

It's actually got me practicing with the stick more.

Besides, 1 1/2 - 2 minutes in the microwave.

Just by coincidence I'm at a bluegrass festival in Susanville and happened to bump into the owner of the company that provides the little red containers to Pops (Maden Plastics INC. in Cranford NJ, [NFI]).

He says they can sell very small quantities to retail consumers.

If anyone would be interested in this, PM me and I can provide the company contact information.
