Thread Name: Finding Other Musicians To Play With
Subject: RE: BS: Finding Other Musicians To Play With
Of course you don't know any musicians, you're a banjo player!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist. It was rather open to temptation, though, wasn't it....

Finding other musicians is strange. Sometimes they are open about it, advertise in the local bar about sessions, and then are never seen again. In my experience, the best sessions are never advertised, never start before 9.00pm and have always been going for years before you found them.... SO was looking for a morris dance team, and found that one had been practicing just down the road for 20 years and more, and he never knew!

Good luck, whatever you find will be a challenge, to bring yourself to their standards, or to help them achieve greater things.
