Hey everyone,

I'm a Penn State student and just recently started a group here bringing mandolin players together. Now we're headed toward our first "meeting." Anyone have any suggestions about how to conduct a mini jam? I've never been to one before, but I also hope to do some other things such as teach some techniques that I've learned, and other things that the super beginners might not know.

So that's my plan, but anything else like good songs to start on and such will be really appreciated. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Schaef0,
Sorry this is so late, hope it's still helpful to you.

1) pass the opportunity to call a tune around the circle
2) pass the breaks around the circle
3) make no judgments
4) welcome everyone

Where are you holding the jam? I grew up in State College, and attended PSU from '83 to '86 before moving to CA and transferring to Sonoma State University.

Go 'Nits! Big Ten champs for the second time since joining the conference!
