Very true. You're both right. It is very good info and words to live by,  and 
would certainly be neat to laminate and post where people going into a  jam 
or anyplace musicians gather could read it and take to heart.  But  let's give 
credit where credit is due.  Especially when it's so easy today  to keep track 
of who said what ....(unlike 30 years or more ago,  pre-internet).
 
So how about it, Richard?  For the archives...just who was that 'pro'  who 
gave you such good advice so he can get the permanent credit for his words  of 
wisdom?

I have two rules that I abide by in a jam session:

1) As  one pro said to me in my early days after I nearly wrecked a jam  
session:
Listen, listen, listen.  A lot of amateurs think it's about  how well you
play.  It's really about how well you listen.

2)  Don't play unless you know you can play something that will make the
entire  band sound better. If you don't know how to make the band sound
better, don't  play.  If you want to know how to make the band sound better:
listen,  listen, listen.

When you try to make yourself sound good above all else,  you make enemies.
(I've seen it over and over.)  When you try to make  the whole band sound
better, you make friends, and you make yourself a  welcome guest.
