[Harp-L] "Harp Preparation" Prior to a Gig

[JamesDSchultz@xxxxxxx]

Hello All
 
I am curious to find out if any body else performs 
"Harp Preparation", prior to a Gig. 
 
I hold my Harp a bit slanted, and after a night of playing, and sometimes  
being a bit overenthusiastic with the Trills, I find 
that I wear a bit of skin off, below my bottom lip. I'm try to get a  
callous, but it's not working too well. Fingers are better at that. Although  Beer 
often helps to lubricate, while playing, I find that if I rub a small  amount of 
Peanut Oil on a napkin, and softly rub it across my Harps, not  drenching, or 
pushing the napkin fibers into the holes, while still  home, it gives me that 
little edge. 
 
They probable sell it already, in a Big Music Store, next to the Gorilla  
Snot, for $6.95. And it's just Peanut Oil in a fancy bottle.
 
 
I am curious to find out if any body else performs 
any type of "Harp Preparation", prior to a Gig. 
 
Thanks, Jim
