Where could I get in on a fiddle jam in HI? Sounds like a good reason to trek to me. I need 21 days to get a decent airline deal, then I'm there.

A word of caution about the midi web site. I just checked it out for the first time (it's really great to have a quick source like that!), but (there's always a but), the two tunes I picked out, Sally Ann and Waiting for Nancy, had midi and chord oddities that might get you stuck on the wrong track if imprinted into your playing. I disagree with the chords on Sally Ann, and the midi rhythm for Waiting for Nancy will through you off of the real thing. Listening to midis a disproportionate amount and playing along might make you less able to back up the 3D fiddlers.

I'm surprised nobody else had similar caveats. Is it because I'm a fiddle player? Qualification: I'm also a backup guitar player.
