If a jam congeals, it simply has too much pectin in it. Could a jam coalesce, perhaps?

And, speaking of jams, that reminds me -- I have a question about instruments at the Getaway. It's a subjective question, but I'd appreciate advice.

Background: I am primarily a singer. In addition...

1. I play dulcimer pretty well, but the small one is out for repair and won't likely be back in time for the Getaway; the large one is bulky and hasn't got a good case.

2. I also play duet concertina more or less adequately, but my squeezer is a temperamental antique and at the moment is geographically inconvenient. I'd just as soon not bring it.

3. I play tenor uke, but only as a rank beginner. This instrument at least has a pretty good case, so I could conceivably bring it, but I'm not good enough at it yet to get a great deal of joy out of letting anyone hear me play it.

(I play harp a bit, too, but let's not even go there!)

For all of the above reasons, my voice is the only instrument I've planned to bring to the Getaway. As long as I can stay singing, I'll be happy.

So tell me, will I find a sufficiency of areas where a singing voice is all that's required, or am I likely to be highly frustrated by the fact that I don't have an instrument to join into a jam with?

Thanks for your input,
Claire
