A Note about Playing Instruments



There’s a bunch of photos
coming up of people playing
instruments. That’s because
they’re having so much fun
it makes for good photos.
You don’t have to play an
instrument in order to come
and have a good time!
If you’re got an
instrument—even if you’re
not very good at it—bring it
along. This is a good place
to jam with friendly
musicians and learn from
more experienced players.
