I missed out on a big chunk of the Mudcat jam session on Saturday night because I was jamming with a bunch of FSGW people whom I had never met before, and I'm incredibly glad I had the opportunity to do that. But the reason I was doing that was because a Mudcatter (whom I had also not ever met, or even encountered in the Mudcat), and FSGW member, Judy (momnopp) heard that I play the accordion, and with a generosity that I have found plenty of in both groups, went and hunted down a squeezebox player for me to jam with. And I'm grateful to her for doing so.

On the other hand, I enjoyed the feeling at the Mudcat jam in a different way than I enjoyed the other jam. Neither one of them was better than the other. Just a little different to me. I'm really thankful that I had the opportunity to do both things.

The two things feel different to me, but in a good, even complimentary way, I think. I'm glad I experienced it the way I did. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
