I went to my first Gypsy jam in public last night! And better yet I survived. I've been playing at home for two years or so, and have had people over to jam. This was the first time in a while when I was not the best player in the room.
Great fun!
I had to cheat on a few songs by using irealpro. But I mostly knew the tunes. When I was introduced the organizer said "and Mark on guitar who is more than adequate"! The accordian player beside me said he was never described as more than adequate the first time. Lol
