Exploring Montreal for the autumn (while studying online). Seeking casual home jams and bar sessions/mics: any practice vibing with a solid acoustic guitarist is always worthwhile for a guy like me trying to hone everything else.
Still, I'd be equally keen to gig with a committed partner, and could prep nearly full-time for a week or two.
For set lists I especially revere folk trads wth no known composer, and roots standards (i.e. songs too often covered to leave any one studio track the definitive version). I consider an original perfected when listeners ask me who wrote it... as if it evokes pedigree at first-listen. Most of the rest of my book is underplayed B-sides and deep-cuts; I bore easily covering karaoke-type nostalgia hits, but I'm game to cover the odd post-70s pop or classic rock/country tune, IF we can rearrange 'em to transcend the original release, e.g. strikingly strip-down and unplug to folkify.
