Discuss the lesson: Inside Cabin Camp: Jam Survival, Anxiety, and Q&A

I hosted a panel about jamming & anxiety with the pros at my fall 2024 banjo-only Cabin Camp! I know you’ll benefit from the wisdom of Alan Munde, Katy Lou Clark, Bill Evans, & Kristin Scott Benson!

A great insight as to how our hero’s survive a Jam Session. I particularly enjoyed the story that Alan told right at the end of the Q&A. “That Jimmy Martin look.” I have witnessed that look on a few of his video recordings.

I would just like to say thank you for posting these sessions from the camp. I was there and I thought I’d remember what was said. Sadly, my memory isn’t what it used to be, and so being able to revisit this information at any time is very helpful. Also, one thing that struck me was the sense of humor everyone demonstrated. It seems to match the instrument…banjo is fun!

Ben - would you mind sharing the jam you mentioned “outside Atlanta”? I’m still trying to find a local jam and wondered where this jam is. Thanks - Roger Hill

I sent you an email, thanks!

This was wonderful for those of us unable to attend a Cabin Camp. The insights are priceless, often humorous and very honest.
I wish I could be there in person, but the strict dress code makes that impractical.:wink:

LOL! Leave it to Alan to take it out on a high note. :laughing:
