A few years ago in Tennessee, the Blue Chip Machine Shop had several pickers working there. They used a very high dollar material to make parts for aircraft, I don't remember the name of this material, but it was similar to the material used to make guitar picks. Some of these guys started taking scraps of this  material and making guitar picks from  it. They found this worked great, and had qualities they couldn't find in any other material. A salesman that called on this machine shop was also a musician in an popular pro Bluegrass band, the Grascals! They told him about these picks, and gave him several of them. He liked them so well he gave some to other musicians,  and before long these picks were in demand! They are called Blue Chip Picks and bring between $35.00 and $50.00 EACH, the last time I bought one. This turned into a very profitable business, and now no self respecting musician pro., or wannabe, would use anything else! This is the version of this story I heard.</p></blockquote><p></p>
