Small Jam - Assorted Egos: What I learned last night.

[icefly]

So, I'm feeling pretty vindicated this morning Went to another jam last night where the player, who I've since 'made-up' with, got involved in a dispute on stage. I was not playing last night. He was swearing and being pretty horrible, to the point that someone yelled at him from the balcony above to "show some respect." The Jam-master had to jump up there and restore order.

This fella seems to have really serious mental issues.

One in particular would stop singing or stop his lead then proceed play the bass lines on his guitar that he felt you should be playing.

I think I’d just start soloing.

I'm doubling my bet this is an alcohol problem.

...unless he’s drinking before he walks in the door.

She said he was nice to her when he first came in on the day they "made up." If he hadn't had a drink yet, that makes sense.

I thought Bernard 'Tiny' Johnson had passed away several years ago. Not so?

Maybe.

I’m not his therapist so I don’t need to pin down the issues: the key bit of info for me is I don’t need to spend time messing with him.

Nah, nobody needs to do anything, but knowing when and why something might happen can help you understand that it's jekyll/hyde behavior and clear up confusion. A lot of people will try to give people the benefit of the doubt because they seem nice sometimes.
