Looking for the relatively narrow blue thumb picks that were used by all the great steel players that played at the "Pedal Steel Guitar Association" convention in Connecticut. Have been searching the internet but can't find. Thanks .. Bill

Bill, I think that you are talking about the Dunlop Herco Blue Picks. Take a look here, I hope this is what you are after. Dale

Thanks gentlemen. The ones from Ederly require a $40 minimum order, a little too steep for a $1.25 pick even if I bought 4 of them. The ones from Canada cost $1.99 but the minimum order is only $10 dollars and they also have the strings I use so I'll probably go with them and keep my order to $10.. Thanks again... Happy picking ..Bill

Guess I'll get them from Elderly with some strings else they won't do business ($10 minimum) ...

Elderly is good people. They carry finger picks too as well as dobro and pedal steel strings as you may already know. Use their search box for anything you may be interested in, as some things are not immediately obvious.

Mr. McCormack - If you don't mind me sending me your shipping address through the SGF - I'll send you one. I have new ones right here in my drawer. They last for years.

Hi Robert, already have them on the way from Elderly.. Really appreciate the offer though... My current ones are about 40 to 45 years old but hardly used, just thought I better get a couple of new ones just in case.. I needed some spare GHS strings anyway,,, Thanks Bill
