   I'm really fortunate to live in a town with a lot of really really
talented musicians my age. I haven't had a bad jam in a long time. A
lot of them listen to prog too, so we can appreciate each other's often
eccentric playing. 

I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties though. Just look around for
other guys to jam with, or be patient. My friend Colin sucked at
drumming a year ago, but I made it a point to jam with him as often as
possible and push his limits, and now he sounds ten times better than
when we started jamming.

	whenever I try to jam with people, I feel like they are just awful and cannot keep up with the awesomeness I am trying to achieve. No ONE I know listens to prog, and they can only handle simple stuff. Does anyone find it easy to just pick up with someone who doesnt really listen to the same stuff as you? I feel like in order to form a band or play with someone they have to be on the same page, or levbel even. Prog is absoluteley brilliant and most people cannot handle a keyboard run and cant fit right on drums and bass. its awful!
