"I can't think of anything more nausiating than a "session". I'd rather play at home to backing tracks!"

Now then Bonzo, don't be such a Bozo - I'm no psychiatrist, but I'd say you definitely need to get out more. Sessions aren't exactly my favourite musical activity either (they might be if I ever manage to get to grips with playing my mandolin properly) but the magic of going to clubs & pubs and meeting so many friends certainly beats the shite out of staying at home and indulging in musical singularity.

As for backing tracks - keep music live and live the life.
