Reunited - Charmed Life Pick
I ran a few errands today, including dropping off a guitar at my local shop for a quick setup. While at the shop, I played a couple of guitars and headed to the car dealership for a car wash.
When I got home, I looked for my Charmed Life Pick and my heart sank - it was nowhere to be found. I called the guitar shop and nope, they could not find it. So, I logged onto the web and ordered two more picks from Charmed Life, while swearing at myself for my carelessness. But, at least I would be covered going forward. On my way back into town, I decided to stop at the auto dealership to retrace my steps. And...there was my pick - in the parking lot - wet, salt covered, and filthy. As I picked it up my pick, a man stopped me and asked if I had found what I was looking for - I explained that I had and of course, he plays guitar, too. So, we chatted about guitars, cars, and the joy of finding the perfect pick. All is well when you find your Charmed Life Pick...the world suddenly gets back on it’s axis. I am grateful for deciding to retrace my steps! IMG_8895.jpg

Love the retrieval success stories. I try to teach those to my kids but they are more of the mindset to reorder.
Happy day, Kori! That pick looks so nice. I have 3 Scott picks and luckily they haven't left the building. In fact I just had a rainy day session with a piano player friend of mine. I chose my similar brown/red Tri for that. I remember retracing my steps at the first SBAIC convention looking for my TAD-1R-50 BC. No luck there..... Glad you found it!

Is that $30 for a single plastic pick?

I sand this in a brown leather chair on a dark brown carpet. Come by anytime and comb through my carpet and walk about with about three or four picks. Such are the challenges, Scott
