Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : The incident happened Friday night, but I'm going to pre face this by telling how I ended up at this jam session. I dont post much on reddit, so I will try to format for easy reading.

A couple months back I was letting my son play at a church playground. When we pulled in I noticed a older gentleman sitting on the bench, but I thought nothing of it since service didnt start for a couple more hours.

This man and I had been talking for awhile and we get on the subject of playing guitar. I tell him that I'm self taught and would like to find a group to listen to / follow along with to learn. He tells me about a little get together they have on friday nights at a church, encourages me to come check it out and to bring along my family.

Fast forward to this Friday and I'm hyped about it. I walk in with my wife and child and I start to feel like maybe we are a little out of place. There was about 10 -15 people there with instruments and around 30 more people in the crowd. All of the guitars looked almost identical, with blonde tybe bodies and here I am with a midnight edition esteban I had gotten from my mamaw when my papaw .

I sat down on the seats lining the wall near a couple other pickers and they introduced themselves. I explained how I don't feel I'm a very strong guitar player and that I was just there to try and follow along. That's when they asked a question I hadn't prepared for,  "Well, Do you sing? "

I laughed it off and began to loosen up and the man asked again overvthe mic after he led a song. He said, " Your a new picker in here with us, I'd really like for you to sing us a song and Jeff and I will play with you! " I stood up and asked if they knew the song Wagon Wheel from Old Crow Medicine Show and they began to smile and gesture me towards them. 

Now Reddit, I only sing when I play because none of my friends I usually play with will. I definitely had never sung at a function like this but I was feeling great because I have practiced this song alot.

I'm up there and i start singing a little out of time but by the end of the first verse  me and these two fellas are getting it together. I'm staring kind of cross eyed at the mic to keep from looking at the crowd but I can see a few in the front swaying back and forth and I can hear them clapping. We finish the song and when I sat back down the man I was sitting beside told me thats something I should do more often.

I was feeling great about myself and my guitar playing until we left, and this isvthe part that makes me feel like an asshole, my wife mentions that when I got done an older woman made the comment that was NOT the type of place for that song and a man beside of her asked her what was so bad about it .

Am I the asshole ?  My son is wanting to go again next week but I'm really having second thoughts about it. I'm sorry this is a long post . ask questions if you want, ill answer!
