I went to a local folk music festival today. I listened to both ends of the "ability spectrum". There were groups and individuals there that played professionaly and those that played once in a while just as a hobby. There were areas set aside for both types. It was very refreshing to see some of the very talented pros come out and get into the jams during their scheduled sets. While the pros could run some 'hotter licks' than their amateur counterparts, the one thing that stood out is that everybody was having a wonderful time! There was no 'I can anything you can do better' attitudes there at all. Just an all over spirit of enjoyment. This is an annual event in our area and I am already looking forward to next year!
