I was once playing in an excellent tune (no songs)session in rural north lincolnshire UK where the tune sessions are few and far between where a melodeon player and myself were the only two playing from memory every one else had the music in front of them he leant over to me and said he did n't like to see people playing from music my reply was "do you want a session with people playing from music or no session at all"
