On topic, my mom was a musician and she always told me and my siblings to take care of our bodies ecspecially our hands and fingers so I have always warmed up my hands with warm water, excercises learned through PT, and I have found that using CBD oil 2x a day helps. I pretty much play the OM and do not chord as much anymore. I found that experience has helped where speed has been lost. Most importantly for me is has I have gotten older I play slower but with more"soul".
I also am a huge bicyclist and need to keep my hands in good health to keep riding. I am 67 years old.
CBD oil taken internally or rubbed on the joints?
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
