[Harp-L] dry lips

[Tim Moyer <wmharps@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As many of you probably know I had a stroke a few months ago.  most of my harmonica playing abilities were unaffected, the biggest problem for me now seems to be dry lips sticking to the coverplates of my beloved Golden melodies.  if I remember correctly th late great Doug Tate used to maintain that silver was a better material for keeping the lips moving with agility over the harmonica, but like everything on this list I think I remember a lively debate on the topic.  I woul really appreciate any advice - except for "drink more water" - on this topic as I work to get my chops back.

thanks,
