"Uncle Larry"
I quit my band of 8 years last July, and recently left an original blues/rock/swing type band for a few reasons. I didn't like the gigs for reasons I can't state here. I really liked the leader guy and his songs, but as it turned out, musically, I didn't care for 2 guys in the band, the bass player and the saxophone player. It was a far ride for practice with tolls and everyone was expected to donate half their gig pay to the band fund. If I crunched the numbers I'm sure I paid out to play in that band. There were other little things that tipped the scale to relating to the sax player. The return on investment wasn't worth it for me.
I still have a straight up blues band I play with but those gigs are like maybe once a month.
I'm not sure what I want to do now and it feels strange. I have time to gig, but it's OK if I don't, too. I've been in at least one band for the last 15 years.
Just putting that out there.
