I think the 'round robin' works best when the group is made up of musicians who play that particular style. I thought I'd be one of the only non-guitar players there (I am an aspiring blues banjoist), sort of a non-virtual lurker, but found the group to be mostly like me. What to do?! A group leader is at the mercy of the crowd.I think Max made lemons, though I would have been perfectly happy if the guitar players had gone on about their business and ignored the rest of us.
