Nobody teaches you how to be in a band

Hello chaps, long time no post. Sorry.

As usual I've just popped in to pimp a thing I've written, it's relevant for once as it's about the skills you need to be able to play with other people, and how lucky I was to know a bloke that forced me to learn them when I was a kid. Link below, thanks.

Wow.. posted at 6 minutes to 6 in the morning!

Good stuff to read and reminisce upon.. I suppose I was lucky to grow musically with folkies,  mostly older or more experienced than me.. loads of Eddies!

Thinking about it,  when I started playing in ceilidh bands there was a commonly played 'honour your partners' chord, always by feel. Nobody counted it out loud, just everybody did it. Nowadays no bands in get to play with seem to have it any more, even after attempts to rehearse it.
