Dealing with the fallout from quitting a band

[Remyd]

know plenty of folks that did tours in their early 20's in a broke down van sleeping in it or on somebody's floor. Most look back fondly on those experiences but had to get real as they headed towards 30.

Four long trips between 19-21 agree. Now I'm old and fat and my back won't take the floor sleeping. Or the smell. That is a funky business.

When looking back, fondly isn't the work I'd use. More like glad-to-have-emerged-from-the-tempest-scarred-and-shellshocked.

If anyone is interested in the result, I finally ripped the band-aid off and let them know I was leaving. I actually put out an ad looking for a bassist and got 4 hits in 2 days, so y'all were right, they weren't looking very hard. Good news is they were very amicable and supportive and my guilt has morphed into substantial relief.

I could give you names of a few top players in Austin. All would be for-fee and not inexpensive, but could cover any critical gigs while they find a replacement. My network is guys in their 40s and up these days, though, not sure how old you guys are. PM me if interested.
