I have been playing seriously now for 2 years. I would consider myself as between an advanced beginner and a early intermediate player. I have never played with other musicians but have been asked to join an informal jam at a local small town msic store for a long time now. I finally accepted and while they know I am not a great player, they are very encouraging for me to come. Most of the players are either working musicians or former professionals. We are all in our 50's and 60's so we have a lot of music in common. I am very anxious as the afternoon of our jam session is next week. Scared to death more like it. Any advice to not completely have a breakdown will be greatly appreciated.
