I'm going to come clean. We're friends, right?

I've always had difficulty playing the harmonics in 'Whispering Lullabye". I'd see those harmonics coming down the line and I'd just freeze up with a feeling of terror filling my entire soul. I'd always screw up, and the beautiful bell-like harmonics would come out as dull thuds.

Last week I bought a HSGA Logo mug.

The mug changed my life. I can now play those ethereal notes without fear. They ring like beautiful little bells.

Thank you HSGA Logowear! (now on sale!)

I just told my wife that I "just had to buy" one of those mugs to improve me steel playing and she promptly told me, "If you spend any more time on that )*(&*&^&^% thing you will be wearing that mug!"

Now what do you suppose she means by that? I can't buy the mug?

Are these mugs all the same design? Which one will I have to buy to play in B11 tuning?
Or even C#m ?

The $9.99 HSGA coffee mug sale (11 oz. size only) including free shipping sale ends tomorrow - Monday Dec 11th.

Come on folks - that's cheaper than two orders of Mocha Latte Supremo Grande Demi Semi Roast coffee at your neighborhood coffee boutique.
