   AM.   
      
   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 bluegrass/old time jams in   
   my illustriously short bluegrass 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 prick.
