Banjo Jam Session Etiquette

Tuesday, 24 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

With the International Bluegrass Music Association convention getting underway, the Charlotte News & Observer has a quirky piece on how to go about joining a bluegrass jam session. You can’t just pick up your banjo and join in. “Prepare to join a bluegrass jam session as you might a poker game in the Wild West, with some respect, knowledge of the art and willingness to take a chance.” Be realistic about your own ability, wait your turn, and please, no country and western.
