Whitsun

kbsitepicsession017Hard to get out sometimes just now, but folks in Cambridge were having a bit of morris dancing and such, and I know they have a good time playing some sunday afternoons, so I went out and watched the dance for a while and enjoyed listening to the tunes.  I’ve been to sessions like this for years, asked to host more than a few.  People still tell me they remember one I shared with one of the fellows in this session.  Was real nice to hear him again, he’s a delight.  Those sessions were a lot of years ago now, I’ve probably told you about them, but I still remember being quietly pleased that we were able to make it seem to just happen that everyone who was there to play got to do what they wanted, and that neither of us felt the need to lead everything, and there there were both things everybody played and things most of us were quiet and listened to.  Somehow we managed it without a plan or a format or anything as formal as taking turns going around a circle.  I’ve had conversations with people who don’t think it’s possible.  Ah well, it did happen, and they say it was a good thing for people.  Meantime, nice to hear the tunes and to get out for a few minutes.
