Major Snip to preserve sanity AM. Like the music, worried about the culture 250Here's a snippit of some bluegrbutt jam rules I saw published here about 4 years ago:Instruments The basic bluegrbutt instruments are guitar, mandolin, 5-string banjo, fiddle and bbutt. All of the instruments... I guess to wrap it up. I can't make up for the past musical injustice done since I haven't a clue what has actually transpired.Nor can I really attempt to do so. I have gone to 4 different bluegrbutt-old time jams in my illustriously short bluegrbutt career. They have ranged from exciting to snoozers. I've even gone to the local senior citizens center (I'm 40) and "jammed" with folks mostly 30 years my senior. I can't say I was inspired, but I learned quite a few things and felt truly appriciated just for coming out and being there. I guess my final thought would be ... these folks need you in their jam. They might not "get it" for a while ... or ever. But to let narrow minds prevent you from participating and adding your flavor to the music is simply not to be tollerated. Perhaps you could learn to "redneck it up" just a little but still maintain your sense of where you'd like to go... who knows...but I'd hate to see both parties miss out on something so cool just 'cause the guy at the mixer is a needle. b
