The thing at the bottom of his shirt in the last photo at first looks a lot smaller than the spidery thing in the One Show photos.

I just saw HH's comment in another thread (in Fleetwood Mac) and I realized I never posted this here. I think this is what's on Glenn's shirt and I think they're called 'hurdlers'.

Forgive me if you've said this elsewhere but... what the heck are those used for?

I didn't say and I asked Austin and he didn't know. I just asked the guy who posted the picture on Facebook, we'll see what he says. Just guessing here and this is completely a guess by looking at the picture, I would say a hurdler hurdles the frets. Not being a guitar player, I have no idea why you'd want to do such a thing.

OK, and if so I must ask again why it was also on his shirt in the One Show screenshots?

Maybe he played guitar off-camera? Maybe there was one still stuck to the inside of the suitcoat?

Well, I don't know why that would be the case. Why would he drag his guitar over to London when he had no need for it. It seems to me that it is part of the shirt. When you said you saw him brush it off one shirt, that honestly has me baffled.

If any one of us ever gets a chance to talk to Glenn again, we MUST put this at the top of the questions list!

I just assumed he would seldom travel without one. A few years ago, a co-worker, actually a customer, told me that a long time ago the suggested treatment for RA was to do nothing. More recently, daily exercise is the norm. Anyway, this guy, whose older brother suffered from RA, said that his brother was told if he didn't use the mobility of his fingers daily, he'd lose that mobility. I guess not everyone would approach it the same way and there are probably other exercises that can be done regularly even if the approach was the same. I just assumed without really thinking about it that he'd play frequently.

When I was at the After Hours show in NYC last year I noticed this on his shirt. I kept trying to figure out what it was because it looked like it was embroidered on the shirt. To me, it looked like an Eagle. Kinda like one of the old Eagle symbols they used in the 70s. A tiny little Eagle - that was what I was seeing and no I had not had anything to drink!! :hilarious:

I've even considered that it might be a crow, since he seems to like those.
