I don't think this is your latest apology Bill.
 
I'm pretty sure we've had to wait longer in the past for one to finally appear.
 
Stilll, better late than never.

I've really upset the dwarf who lives next door - he says I'm always mocking his small stature.
 
I feel pretty bad about it now....
 
Guess hi ho him an apology.




I think I got into an accident with him once.  As he was getting out of his car he said "I'm not Happy!" so I replied with "Ok, which of the other six are you?"  Then things got a bit nasty...

so you still playing with the krustations?
 
are they making the other guitar players auditioning use a Line 6 also for the audition?
 
I say that sucks Bill, I am sorry.
 
Did they tell you up front they were auditioning players BEFORE you purchased the pedal.
 
well anyway you now have a nice FX unit that will last you forever and take you that long to figure it out

Did they tell you up front they were auditioning players BEFORE you purchased the pedal. - No. I was told I had the gig
 
 
I DO know before me there is a friend of the leader they wanted but he turned them down and now he may want in. They had another guitar audition last night too.
 
ALSO, the leader is auditioning female vocalist and Katrina does not know that
 
The "things" I've seen since moving to south Louisiana  makes me want to just retire from playing. There's drama that comes with the bands around here and I'm guess I'm getting too old to put up with it. Everyone wants me to give them everything and I get nothing in return. No compromise. The band leader and his wife for Monster Crawfish charges $650 for a 4 piece and and pays the other members $100. Somehow that seems a little one sided considering the skill level of the bass player /leader

WHAT SO you and the drummer and chick singer/keyboardist get 100 dollars, leaving 350 for the band "leader?"

Why not start your own band Bill?
 
It sounds like these guys are messing you about from what you've said.

Oh, I don't think it is uncommon for the Leader to take a little extra, since the jobs have to be booked, kept tracked of, and any of that stuff in a band.
 
Politics suck everywhere I suppose though.
And then there is the one person band, whenever he/she/it/space-alien starts playing.

350 is more than a little its ,,58 %
and you know what, without the band members all his "trouble" for booking. etc, would be for naught..
 
most booking agents take 10-15 % 
 
I am sorry I dont agree, but I am not in that band, thank God.

If I didn't live in a small apartment and had a place to store the equipment I would start my own band. My income allows me to pay the rent, gas, and groceries. I break even each month and hope my car doesn't breakdown. If anyone remembers the divorce after my cancer the X took everything and I got the dog and a Rad 4. I was set up and blindsided by the one person in the world I trusted and was married to 38 years. If it wasn't for Steve I would probably be behind bars right now.
