Great story. Good luck and congrats!

There's a TV commercial where a Buddhist Monk is trying to get a point across to a student. The older dude poors a cup of tea for the student and keeps pooring to where it is overflowing much to the dismay of the student. The lesson being....in order to learn and retain, you first need an empty...

^^^^ I know what to do....get an education. Your command of the english language is terrible. If english is your second language I apologize, but that was a tough read.

Amen... Just gave up on 2 guys that are big talkers, but could not play there instruments. :rolleyes:

+1 Especially the part " don't let the thrill of the 1st band get you"...been there, done that"

I congratulate you for dealing with it in this manner. It's good to see fellow musicians helping each other out.

The last couple weeks he has seemed especially irritable. I wondered about thge stage fright, especially since he is trying to play w/o that other guitar, which he has never done. Sheesh... i thought I would be the nervous one. He has always come off as "cock sure" of everything. Maybe not so much.

HA HA It would have felt pretty good I believe :hyper:

True...it's not cut and dry...and it tells me that I wasn't crazy when I asked to bring some friends after I saw the guitarist and singer do it. And all I wanted was some consideration. Next time I'll ask the right things before hand.

FYI it was exactly a 50/50 split on posters that actually commented on whether or not you should bring people to rehearsal.

I appreciate everyones input. I'm movin on and I learned a whole lot. I've been contacted by a couple that is playing a wedding party in a month and I put a craigslist ad in and I got 1 response from a drummer already. I know I have something to offer musically, so thats the way I'm gonna sell...
