Congratulations on keeping homemade jam goin!! we do the same in southern Manitoba. Often the person who hosts the coffee house will ask people in turn to "give us a song" Another cool idea, to follow up on Barry's spread-it-out idea, is to put the names of all the guitarists in one hat, fiddles in another, and so on, and then "draw" a band who then have ten or fifteen minutes to work up a tune ... :) dennis
