I think Guy Wolff is coming over this wednesday from the states, or maybe next week.

I certainly agree that over the last few weeks there has been a bit of a deteriation/dissent, in a few areas, not as many people, musicians, people who just come to sit. Maybe that's just my perception?

I don't know, I don't want to be polarised or pilloried if I go and play somewhere else on or off (as I only have 1 night a week available to me) I also want to go and have a play. I don't mind really where. I like the jug and have had some real good times there, made lots of (I hope) friends and have no wish to upset anyone or cause a problem or make it worse.

I think from my limited knowledge that sessions constantly evolve. New faces and tunes, departure of other faces, some tunes get played less and less. The balance of musicianship shifts from clever, good musicians to not so good as they improve, to really excellent or terrible in a cyclic fashion.(I'm not even begining to suggest that some people are less worth than others-though I count my self as poorly skilled) The number and variety of instruments changes.

Perhaps it will pick up, die down, or just change-I don't know and am not making a prediction. Certainly it will die if no-one goes(that's logical)but then it might pick up again.

I have only 1 night a week to get out to the Jug or anywhere. I hope it continues what ever form it takes.
