Understand from the git-go that if you have an opinion on this...... YOU'VE ALREADY LOST!! because: If you ask someone to get in tune, you get accused (behind yer back) of wanting people to be "PROFESSIONAL" (a very dirty word) If you ask the really bad musicians NOT to play along, you get accused (behind your back) of being a snob (or twenty other similar words) If you just go along with the standard flow, you start believing the old addage "Pete Seeger taught the world to sing....and should never be forgiven for it"! If ya really wanna have fun playing, invite yer friends who are total blinkered folk nurds who follow the etiquette. Ya don't have to socialize with them!!! Ha ha! Cheers Rick
