Yes, I took a guitar and I did play.

Kind of funny. I happened to sit on the short side of the circle, so within a minute or two I could tell it was going to be my turn pretty soon. I was thinking, "Ok, all the songs so far have been in C with no bridges or refrains, should I play something simple like that or something different to shake it up?"

I ended up playing something different. Oh Glory How Happy I Am by Gary Davis. They seemed to like it.

I looked around and realized I was about half the age of the average of the room, that this circle has been going on for 6 years, and these folks have known eachother for a long time. I thought the least I could do was to be New Blood. I feel like we did that with the FSGW with what I hope is considered a success. So, its my bag.

My 2nd song was in C and had no bridge or refrain.
