Thunderbird Club

Picked the Greco backup last night, had a local artist paint the pickguard for me, and it came out incredible!

What a thoroughly unpleasant week it has been and the next week promises to be unpleasant also.

We have a situation where one band member's commitment cannot be questioned (in fact commitment strays over the border into obsessive behaviour which the rest of us find 'freaky') but said commitment far outstrips musical ability. The outcome is inevitable, but it's not something I'm looking forward to and hopefully will be the first and only time we need to do it.

Oh, damn. So hard to find the balance, because... people. Which instrument is this?

I cannot like this. It is a shame. It seemed like you had finally out personnel problems behind you.

It's never easy is it?

Steve Gadd said "People are more important that music" and I try to apply that as much as I can. But there's still that line where one person is making it a bad situation for all the other people. Good luck!

Ehhh... sorry.

By way of consolation, know that most bands who do anything remarkable, which is what most of us are anticipating, experience any of a number of personality, emotional, or otherwise static-inflicting issues within their ranks. Whatever you have to march through, keep your eyes on your prize. You will get it.

True. However one mustn't let oneself be derailed by other people's issues. People can be agency for trouble.
That's not to say one should be unkind.
