while i might like for my family to see me, i haven't brought anyone since
i started playing in my local jam.  i don't need the distraction.  the way i see
it, i'm there to work on stuff, to ask lots of questions from the other musicians,
and to learn as much as i can.  attending to an audience, whether i'm on stage
or not, cuts into the very limited time i have (a few hours a week) to do those
things.
