I don't think turning down two opportunities that don't interest you qualifies as being picky, much less too picky. Better that they don't get saddled with someone who isn't very interested in the genre or the direction. If you don't find an opportunity you like, you can always advertise for...

Gravy Train

Fun fact, Facebook acquired WhatsApp in 2014ish. So if you'll use FB Messenger, why have reservations about WhatsApp? I've been using WhatsApp with my bands since 2011. We are all often on different continents when we aren't together, so it's a way for us to communicate without running up...

Most cats bring home dead birds and mice...

I have a galaxy player that I've been using since 2010ish when I got tired of battling with my ipod. Pretty sure they don't make them anymore though I can still buy new batteries when they don't keep a charge very long. It's somehow managed to keep up with bluetooth capabilities, so I can use...

Shadow is 5 years old today

yeah, and I was able to find two that were actually for small dogs that were perfect for my two (large maine coons) for $14 each at my local 99 cent stores, and smaller ones for normal sized ones were even less expensive. That and a baby blanket were the perfect travel mode for mine. I also...

a bitty blep

From experience, don't be surprised if he doesn't eat, drink or use the litterbox even when offered on stop breaks. I stopped using cages to transport and started using soft sturdy carriers with a blanket tossed in. It knocked out complaints, motion sickness, and they traveled more comfortably...

When I was on a 210 acre farm, all but one cat was indoor/outdoor or strictly outdoor. The one not allowed out had no front claws so might not have been able to defend herself. Now I live in a city and every cat I've had here has been strictly indoor for several reasons, the biggest one being...

Happy Birthday to my big boy Chris. He is six years old today!

I play guitar in two bands and bass in a third. One of the bands I play guitar in, the bass player of that band is the guitar player of the band I play bass in. We are both quite fine with it. We took our respective positions in the bands as the spots opened up and neither of us are interested...
