Thread Name: Rules of the Session
Subject: RE: Rules of the Session
Mmmm...

Years ago I used to go to a session where there were a few 'Prima Donna' types who liked to show off and play their party pieces, knowing nobody else could join in. Yet when I tried doing the same, believing that it was acceptable to do so, it was pointed out to me in no uncertain terms that I was in the wrong.

So I voted with my feet!!

Sessions where everyone joins in when they are able, and quietly doodle in the background when they aren't, are much more enjoyable and educational.

Okay, the occasional 'party piece' is to be expected - how else will we hear tunes we haven't heard before?!

There has to be some kind of balance...
