Jon, it seems at the sessions I have attended they play the tunes soooooo fast that I feel pretty disconnected to the tunes and to the other folks I am playing with. Maybe it has to do with the fact I am so inexperienced but I find the whole thing so far pretty meaningless. When the tunes are played too fast, I feel alone within a crowd of musicians. Maybe with time and experience I will feel the connection I know others speak of.
