We would all want.

Jam sessions and invites aside !  We all know the difference ....

We went out to a local club to listen to some music and to my horror Chris took out a harmonica and played along with the band.  Granted we were way in back and the band was loud but the young women next to us heard the playing and liked it.  When I say I was appalled let me be clear that the etiquette of gussing never once entered my mind.  It was about Chris attracting attention in my vicinity.  My preferred public mode of operation is invisibility.  fjm
