McGrath - that's just how I felt when I looked into rec.music.folk a few weeks ago... I felt like I was a poorly tolerated beginner in a long established session. I could only play a few tunes and they begrudged me that, so in the end I gave up. The attitude was one of 'we know everything about folk and you ought to as well, don't come down the deep end of the pool if you can't swim with us'.

I'm staying here, where at least people can laugh at and with each other.
