Q: I am a young musician in a rut. It seems like I never can get the chance to play with quality musicians. ...How can I get out there and play with other musicians?

A: Well congratulations for your yearning for excellence and your seeking spirit. That is what this website is all about: advancing... If you want it bad enough you have most of the battle won already, I'm sure. Meanwhile, I suggest you use a two fisted approach:

Right fist: Be and become a better musician by your own standards.
Left fist: Make new friends and treasure old.
