Default Re: Is this true?

For a period of time after the TIA, he did not have use of all his fingers, or at least not to the point that he could fingerpick reliably with them. Through November of that year (Massey), he was doing very limited fingerpicking. By the time he retured to touring the next year, in February, he was back to his normal picking patterns. I remember how thrilled I was to see a vido on You Tube of Gord playing DQ, Travis picked normally. That was not the case in November, although it appeared to me that he occasionally did pick with those fingers. Terry was filling in.

Somebody should get energetic and fix that article in Wikipedia. Anyone who watches more recent videos can see that he is picking normally.
