A jam session is NOT... (Part 3)

a time to get upset if you mess up (or did't play up to your expectations).
It's a jam session... you have a 50% chance of walking away happy with what you just played and 50% chance of wanting to throw your harp away. Keep in mind that a jam session is a dynamic situation with strong and weak players backing you... each musician having different goals in mind... just roll with it and understand that the nature of a jam session is chaos. If you understand this, you'll go home with much less stress ;-)
