One more time and then I will hush up forever on this subject.
It is not the job nor should it be expected for a beginner or
novice fiddler to hold up other musicians who do not
know and can not figure out the chords.

i gree that it's a bad idea for the blind to lead the blind (so-to-speak)
But somebody has to know something in order to get the job done.
If one can communicate an idea amoung the other musicains, one's not obligated. But there you sit silent or worse. I'm the last one to call out chords. But if the choice is between pickin and sitting? Sometimes i drive a long ways to pick/play. It's a waste of gas to just sit there and not play. So knowing some chords, somehow, is good for the environment.

Improvi ... improva ... improvla ... what on earth is that??? Just play it through for over five minutes. We do "endurance" training around here y'all!! (Old time fiddle joke)
