I'm only recovering today from a music potluck that Cathy and I attended on Sat. The host is a fine piano and organ player and his partner plays guitar and sings blues. So Cathy got out her accordion and I my trusty J45 and so it went for two songs. Then we noticed we had been surrounded. On one side of us a guy was plugging in a Les Paul and on the other side it was a Telecaster. Talk about being outgunned!! And these guys were terrible!! Every attempt was blasted by these so-called musicians. They had no idea about the song or even the chord structure. All the Les Paul guy knew was riffs and the Tele guy was trying to play a screaming slide over the most sensitive songs. I did ask the Tele guy to please turn it down a little, but I didn't feel I could say too much at somebody elses home. Cathy and I both eased out of the room shortly. The scene was pretty caotic to say the least, and we put em' back in the case and left soon after. These are nice people and part of out community, and we don't want to turn into the 'jam police' or make for hard feelings. It feels like avoidance is the most likely thing to happen. Does anyone out there have some ideas about this kind of a situation? Michael Ray
