Absolutely. That said, there's a trade-off between being prepared and playing songs that the rest of the non-musicians will enjoy, and a free-for-all jam approach ( which is the most inclusive ) which tends to be a lot of fun for the musicians, but can lead to a rapid exit from the room of other folks... I think this is what Jeremy's proposing is that we clearly define two sets ( perhaps with a DJ set between )...one for practiced songs, and one more of a free-for-all. /tony _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-allstars Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-allstars More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
