Good morning! Woo-hoo, it's Friday!

OT and 2J, you'd find this interesting...recently someone started a little "Irish" pub and grill on the edge of town (it's really tiny, but you do what ya can), and last week Bilbo asked them if we could start a session there. They had no idea what a session was, but said that we could come down if we wanted to. Last night was the first night. It had high and low points, mostly because the Monday night group showed up and they can't or aren't willing to play things at even a bouncy speed, and some of them aren't always in tune or on rhythm. I guess it's just the beginning factor, but honestly, if you can't at least play in the right timing with others at least on the slow tunes, you should listen for a bit...IMO. We're supposed to be playing together, not just sort of at the same time. And I've done my share of listening. But anyway...some of us stayed just a bit later, and a woman who is a REALLY good mandolinist of the style I most enjoy was there, so me and Jim and Bilbo played with her for half an hour or more, just saying, "Hey, do you know...?" and playing that tune. It was great!

So...we don't have an officialy scheduled "next time", but I think it could happen. Hope so!

But...for the NaNoers...that's why I didn't get much writing in. And why I'm tired today, 'cause I stayed up TRYING to get writing in.
