I wonder when you openly castigate the melodeon that you understand how the Jug session started.It was born out of a Plough stots side that practised on a Wednesday night in Haddlesy if my memory serves me correctly there where 3 meledeons 2 fiddles and 1 accordian, tunes where played and when the tunes dried up a sing song ensued that produced a song book so that everyone could join in anyone that was in at the time had songbook thrust into their hands and where encouraged to join in , I think Mrs Duck, Mouldy, Windy b or Jellybean can confirm this and correct my memory if I am wrong. I am glad that we did not go with our 10 year old MELODEON player last night and some of the anger that is been targeted at box players makes us as a family wonder should we go elsewhere. I agree with what Mike was saying at the begining that wednesday night has always been a local musician session and if we on mudcat would like to meet and have a natter should maybe look at another night. As for session etiquete you always get different tunes being played at different ends of the room due to the dynamics that is a problem of the room and no individual player.
