"Uncle Larry"
The time has come for me to move on musically. Meaning I need to get away from the band I've been in for 8 years...to open me up to other possibilities. I already was offered a slot with an original blues band that I subbed for last year that I liked a lot. I'm rehearsing with them on Monday. Plus I got another offer to work out originals with another band I'm subbing for tomorrow. It's time for me to move on.
I'm getting suffocated with my current band. The tempos are Out. Of. Control. My band leader is too closed off to discuss this with. I tried. I've grown weary of him and my bass player who's brain is full of leaks.
I want to contact my bandleader and without getting into any details at all, I want to tell him I need to beg out and how does he want to handle it. If I know him, he will want to cut it off immediately. But who knows, maybe he will want some time to procure a replacement.
Any words of wisdom concerning leaving bands without burning bridges and hurting feelings shall be appreciated.
