Yeah, I'm more of a Kid Shelleen type when it comes to a gig.

Regarding dry hands, especially the chord hand, I do sprinkle with baby powder when required during a gig.
It also has a good side effect, it helps me smell as fresh as a baby's bottom.

Danny, have you ever tried Finger Ease: http://www.zzounds.com/item--CBR2074
This stuff really works. I’ve been using the same can for years now!
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Chet Atkins wrote that he would never bath or take a shower before he had to play, stating that the water and soap softened his fingertips in an undesirable fashion.
Me, I'm no Chet Atkins. Not hardly. So I'd much rather arrive at the gig non-stinky, thank-yew, thank-yew-verr-much.

Mac, Chet also admitted on one of his YT videos that he would often wear a glove, especially on his right hand, because a broken fingernail had caused him to actually cancel appearances.

I know a guy in Key west who plays a Flamingo guitar. He doesn't warm up either.

I used to use it back in the good old days but I have found that baby powder keeps my hand drier, less oily feel.
Same can for years . . . Is it a 55 gallon can?

An old flamenco player once showed me the trick of wiping the frethand fingertips on the top area of the nose. He said that the oils from outside of the nose reduces nylon string fret noise quite a lot. Darned if he wasn't right once I got the nerve to try it.

Being from Maine we usually warmed up next to the wood stove.I played one club that used one of those kerosene "salamander" heaters. This one was so big it looked like the engine from a 727 & sounded like one. Drowned out the whole band when it fired up.

Oh. You guys mean THAT kinda warmup?
Well, in Pittsburgh back in the 60's, we often hadda fight our way thru the drunk steelworkers just to get inside the joint to play, that was enough warmup and then some...
