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... I'm heading the other direction and commencing a boycott of all "organized" participatory musical events. I intend to buy a boombox and jam with all the best musicians from any time and place in history with or without electricity. If I desire electricity where it is otherwise unavailable, I use an RV battery which I always keep charged, just for that purpose. I can also burn original accompanying CDs at home and take them with me. Living humans are, apparently, only capable of "screwing up" the creative process. The only bluegrbutt jam I ever really enjoyed was in the most liberal town in our area, had about 12 *extremely* good players, which included some non-standard instruments such as an alto sax(!) played softly enough to work. It was like a bluegrbutt chamber orchestra and a full-house Saturday night crowd seemed to enjoy it thoroughly. It was the only bluegrbutt jam at which I was not interfered with, and I was paid many compliments for weeks thereafter. Miraculously and most ironically, ALL ANYONE HAS TO SAY OR DO IS NOTHING!
