No snobbery at the session I have been to recently. But certainly class distinction. Those who are good players come in small clusters who play together regularly in privte. They set the pace, while the fringe (me) have to guess the key, the tune, the type of piece and catch up later, ifpossible. It is a wonderful education. And free. Fortunately, once you have guessed the key, almost any reel seems to fit with any other.
