RE: [Harp-L] An illustrative story.

["Bobby \" BlackHat\" Walters" <bobby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can I get a witness!  I started out at a local open mic and it was a great
experience.  Not necessarily for those listening to me struggle but for me
personally.  After hearing a couple of other harp players really rock, I
realized that I had a long way to go. Most importantly,  I learned to be
HUMBLE.  Over the years my playing has improved but I'm still HUMBLE.  Why?
Because everyday I learn something new about playing harp which means I'm
still learning my craft.  It also means that there will always be something
new to learn not matter how good I think I am. IT means that I will always
have a reason to remain HUMBLE.

Jam Sessions are one remedy for a musician's lack of stage experience.

Over the years, I have seen quite a few players go from awful to listenable
using the jam stage.

As Mojo Red points out, there are those clueless beings ignorant of their
consistant negative effect on the music, but isn't this a realistic
reflection of other aspects of our lives that are criss crossed with the
idiots that do exist out there? 

Responsible jam sessions encourage the learning necessary for raising a
musicians awareness and abilities.
