You're inside the pub and they give you a chair
are you going to sit since all your musician fellas are also sitting ?
Actually what I want to say really, is that I find myself playing much better when I'm standing. In fact - sitting is making my playing much worse - both on the speed, the pain that's been coming and the rythm accuracy...
How do you find yourself playing - standing more or sitting more ?
so,
are you going to sit since all your musician fellas are also sitting ?
cheers,
Philip

I'd have to say that standing will make you popular!
The chairs run out so quickly and every time it's someone's turn to go to the bar for the free drinks it's the person barracaded in the corner with 3 boxes and 2 sets of drones to navigate!
A standing whistler will get the secret blessing every time!

Curiously enough, I have just the opposite experience. Standing and playing just messes me up something terrible. :lol:Trip- wrote:are you going to sit since all your musician fellas are also sitting ?

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

If I had to stand very much, I'd stop going.

I end up standing most of the time... chairs are usually at a premium anyway, and I tend to play bass about half the time, whistle the other ... but I do usually spend part of the session in a chair, and I really appreciate it when I can... I do sit when I play guitar though... can't do that standing as well.

I live west of Seattle Washington, USA and grew up on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada and have never been to a "session". You are blessed to live somewhere where you can get in on the action. Here we have "jam" nights where musicians can join the house band and play a top 40 song or just "jam" but thats it. They are also called "open mike' venues. Going to a pub or tavern to get on a session with pipes and fiddles and whistles is unheard of here. I read all these posts about sessions and can only imagine how cool it must be...

According to thesession.org, there are twenty sessions in the state of Washington, including six in Seattle itself.William T.

Sol's Tunes (new tune 2/2020)
I agree to that. Send the one alwready standing to the counter. But if the chairs do not have cushions I will be getting up several times to ease some of the discomfort. And like Paul said it is good to move and hear the session from another spot.Mitch wrote:I'd have to say that standing will make you popular!

Well then WTA take some leadership and start a session? There must be others waiting for someone to make a step.William T.

Colomon,
Good website! I live across the straight from Seattle so I could check them out sometime thanks! Nothing within an hour of my home though.
Tommy,
Get suggestion except I'm not a "session" player and don't play trad at all. I could "sit in" but to lead would be beyond my capibilities. I love your "take charge" aproach!

I thought you could set up the session, and someone will come that will lead the music.William T. Anderson wrote:Colomon,
