Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | Anyone else carry a pick in their pocket for no reason? I do it all the time...almost like it's spare change. At the end of the day, I wonder why I carried it all day and why I keep doing it. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I always carry a pick, usually more than one. But I play on the corner a lot.
Back in the 70's, before I played guitar, I always had picks in that little jeans pocket.
Back then there were many music stores in Boston (on Mass. Ave) that gave away free picks...
I rarely went into any of those stores but somehow ended-up with one-or-three in my pocket.
It seem that in those days most of those picks were the Tortoise-shell, breakable kind.
So when the musician said, "Damn! Does anyone have a pick?" I had one.
All good hippies carried guitar picks.

My preferred pick holder....
She's who I would need when I seem to be losing LOTS and LOTS of picks, for unknown reasons. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | I keep a bunch of picks in my pocket at all times and I NEVER use a pick myself. (Nails only) But when a customer comes in to try a guitar I always have a pick of whatever thickness they prefer to hand them. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I carried one for a while, just because it happened to be in with my change. Took it out every night and put it back in the next morning. Habit. Then I got tired of having to take the change out of my pocket every time I went through a security scanner, so I just left it and the pick at home in my "pocket change" dish. My wife decided I wasn't using the change, so she took it and left the pick. Finally, I put it back up in the guitar room with the rest of my picks. |

It has been at times, but at least I wasn't emptying my pockets before a cavity search. |

Location: Michigan | I always carry a pick in my right side pocket except for when I go into a music store like yesterday and than realize that I took it out and put it in the council of my car. That's OK because when I went into the acoustic room to putz there was one of the employees in there finger picking songs like classical gas so I just humbly listened to him and was awed. GWB |

I can't think of anything pc to add to this....
I carry a pick, things went horribly wrong when I tried a bow. |

Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | Well...I'm just glad to see I'm not the only crazy one out there! Now I know I should carry a couple different Picks...and put them in that tiny little pocket (a great idea since I never knew what that pocket was for). I'm 56 and it feels good to get a little bit smarter every day. It's possible I may have skipped a couple days (or weeks during my teen years) but it feels good to know I'm smarter today than at any time in my life. Now if I could just remember where I put my wallet, keys and phone! |

| In the old days....that pocket was for a pocket watch.
So if you use it for a pocket watch now, then you'll need to upgrade to damon's solution for your picks.

Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | That's quite an upgrade! Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can afford it because it looks like it would cost me my house and truck in the divorce. But it would be quite an upgrade over what I'm doing now! |
