Sessions are for joining in !

Well, mebbe. In our session, space is very tight. We've being doing what we do for nigh on 20 years. I think it means we get some say as to who joins in. It's our party. That doesn't mean we say no - we don't - but generally we don't want any rattlers or thumpers (due to previous awful experience with 'em), and, well, we already have a guitar player, thanks. Melody players are a different matter. There must be at least some respect shown for the regulars, spiced with a just a hint of diffidence. That way, everybody's happy.
