What is the best "organized" way to encourage novice, shy musicians to play in groups, participate, jam, etc.
    I play in with several different groups of people, and the one that I enjoy the most is full of people who never played in a group before. Thay all had talent that they never used (or never had the resources to develop), an they are FUN to be around. Its all new to them!
    How do you get all of these people "out of the closet," where they hav been playing alone at home? I'm not too interested in those accomplished, experienced musicians; these are the shy ones.
    We have two local folk groups, one of which hasn't done anything in many years.
