Very brave of you to share all of this, Fraser. As musicians, we’re so used to keeping our guard up, pretending that we are invincible. Thank you!

Thanks so much for sharing, brother 🙏

About 3rd finger, I started doing that a while ago, the students of Joel Quarrington hipped me to it as a possible choice depending on context, and it works quite well. I certainly knew the "Italian" method coming from Bille (the Italian equivalent of the "German" school from Simandl) employed the 3rd finger for awhile, but only explored it after seeing Joel's students.

Anyway, courage my friend. You're an inspiration.
