returns

muscle memory returns, slow 
fingertips shredded to ribbons
a smile on my face

    Ha, yes, nothing like picking up the old instrument after several months, playing like crazy and then staring at your aching, tender fingers! What ever happened to those calloused tips!

      In this case, it’s been closer to several decades since I last played bass in earnest. So nothing remotely big enough even if I’d been playing my six string. No blood, but I’ve not been doing many slides until I build up the protection a wee more.

      😆

    Oh yes, I forgot about the pain.
