jak. jpf should be a place for performers to get better, ,kind encouraging words.a fellowship, if you will. not pro's looking for gigs. there is a beach on the west coast that folks have been making a living playing for 50 yrs. (playing covers mostly.)for that. i always felt jpf was a brotherhood of people all trying to show new songs and network, trying to make friends etc.yeah some players are great and polished performers but the majority are newbies, and need support and encouragement.(like myself) we are lucky the venues have let us in . not the other way around. we should start a fresh thread on this subject. it's a good one. let's go to the java junction. most of us spend at least 10.00 a-piece on that sunday.but i can feel your frustration. and respect your opionin(sp), love, barn.
