Stevie's been banging a tambo on her hands all these years it's gotta hurt. I remember Waylon Jennings had carpal tunnel before he passed and he said it was just stricly due to the repetiveness of strumming the guitar - it's not like he was Eric Clapton...or a Lindsey Buckingham for that matter...
You know, when someone made a joke about her hands getting old as an explanation for the gloves, I did want to say that they didn't look old in those fingerless gloves, so much as pudgy. You may be right about the swelling. That is not uncommon where there is inflammation of the joints. Also, of course, your fingers swell when you retain water for any reason. Even just flying regularly can make your fingers and feet swell. Michele
