Jeff,

Not sure if you have been playing a lot or even a little before this happened to you but I know that if I layoff awhile (talking even 2-3 days) I have similar issues. If this is what happened to you the cure is to play some everyday, even if it is for just 10 minutes or so.

Now with age (that's me) come joint issues, so what I do before every gig is run warm/hot water over my hands for a few minutes before I kick off my first tune. Heck used to be just a shot of Jack and I was bounding on stage starting a count in as I did so . . . now it's a trip to the restroom to wash out the eyes, clear the throat, loosen the finger joints, spray a little throat spray and meander on stage. My how the times have changed, but all in all I am still very grateful I can still "git er done", even if it is at a slower pace.

Good Luck,

Danny C.
