Super Jam

I went to a great jam Saturday. There weren't too many of us so everyone got a lot of turns starting tunes. I think I went through just about everything I knew.
The bass player came late so I started with my little bass. He also likes to take breaks and sit for a few minutes so he has taken to handing me his upright bass. It's a great chance for me to practice. He even complimented my ubass.
My instrument stand worked out great. Nothing fell over and didn't have to search for a place to put stuff. It was all right there next to me.

I've been reading Effortless Mastery and find it very interesting. It's mostly aimed at jazz soloists, but there is some good reading for any musician. It has inspired me to practice more, since that is still necessary.
But he's so right about the ego getting in the way and blocking true freedom in music.
