It was along about that time that Blind Lemon Jefferson came through, and he stayed around there about a month. He stayed with the other colored fellows and they worked on the railroad there; he'd just sing and play to entertain the men in the work camp. I think that right about there I started on the guitar - Hobart Smith recalls Lemon in Virginia, c. WWI, from Blacks, Whites and Blues by Tony Russell

Best tips for preserving calluses on finger tips, please?
(I’m finding my tips getting cut especially by sliding a lot.)

I recall you mentioning you were working on banjo playing a while back. If you're still playing banjo, and it has steel strings on it, try switching to Nylgut strings. I reckon they sound better, and are much kinder on the fingertips doing all those clawhammer slides in sawmill tuning.
