Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. There may be a time and place to censure or criticize another musician, but it is not at this jam. Chalk it up to just plain good manners or good sportsmanship, but your opinion of another player should not be shared loudly with audience members if it is not positive. If you continue to be obstinate or present rude and inappropriate behavior, toward another musician or the host, you will be asked to leave and not return.

When choosing songs, stick to material that falls into the kind of 'core' blues repertoire your fellow jammers will be most comfortable with. A jam set is not the place to break in new, obscure or unusual numbers. Likewise, don't expect anyone to be able to read sheet music or even charts.

Vocalists - as set-leader, it's your responsibility to call the songs clearly so that everyone else onstage knows what kind of number to expect. If it's a well-known blues standard, by all means give the title, but don't assume that everyone will know how it goes.  Describe it.  "medium shuffle in G, quick four, watch me for the stops" - that's the kind of information your fellow musicians need.
