Dear Charles, I have often seen Christopher Wilson run his fingers down the side of his nose in between pieces. I found it strange, until someone explained to me why he did it.

This transfers some of the sebum, secretions from the sebaceous glands, onto the finger-tips. Sebum is latin for 'grease'and will help smooth the tips,especially if you have an 'oily' skin. An alternative to this , for a guitarist, was to place a small blob of 'vaseline' on the upper bout of the guitar for occasional application during performance. regards Charles Browne
