That's it. Mike has an idea of what it should be which is different from what it is or what others think it should be.

Our sessions here vary quite a bit from week to week. Sometimes there's an awful lot of socialising, and other times it's straight music. Sometimes, folks (almost always regulars) are rude and talk while others sing, other times there can be complete silence during a song. We often have new musicians show up, and they're welcomed. I've never heard one complaint about "outsiders." They often contribute new songs and tunes, and the variety kicks up the energy level.

Mike, it seems like you're saying no one should be allowed to invite friends to this session - have I got that right? Maybe you'd be better off in an "invitation only" session, because it sure sounds like your the only person who doesn't want anyone new showing up at the Jug.

You get too grumpy about things, you miss some good music. Been there, done that, and still do it occasionally!
