Foraging for Streetsweeper Blades (for Magda Mayas)

She promptly gifted me one and after gen- tle but swift inauguration into my arsenal of utensils, these slim metal blades transformed my approach to the semi-acoustic guitar. This initial experience led to a minor obsession with streetsweeper blades and these, new to me utensils, became the basis of a slowly developing group of prepared guitar techniques that I brought into service when performing.
