Re: What qualifies as a "jam"?
As usually happens when opposing opinions clash, assumptions are made and that's just part of life. I didn't read anywhere in this thread someone saying they exclude, harass or belittle those that use paper for lyrics or music. There were some preferences stated but I doubt anyone here would kick someone out of a jam or make them feel uncomfortable. Or am I wrong?
My house jam last week went on for 3 hours without stopping and no books necessary. There were times I didn't know a tune called but I improvised it and my friends accepted it, mistakes and all. It was great.
I hope this doesn't sound too defensive but I share musical experiences with young children, Old veterans and everything in between whether they read music or bring their own. I'd bet the rest of us do too. Broad statements are too easily picked apart with specific examples. Jams can include any of the previously mentioned combinations but we all have preferences.

Whether you slow your roll or mash on it, enjoy the ride.
