update
Well, I just read my last posting, and with everything being a process, things have progressed. I'll start with the band thing.
I play in a band, called The Fizziks. I have been with the members since 2005. We don't always get along, but who does? Somehow we've stuck together through break-ups and conflicts and we're still playing together. even though I'm skeptical about it, it has to mean something? There are times though, that I start thinking there's something better out there. My last post talked about an audition, for a great local area band. I couldn't disclose the name, because they have gigs booked. I heard back, and they said I was a decent singer, and looked like I was easy to work with, but I didn't fit. I kinda knew that, I figured I could make more money, and get better exposure. Not going to happen. Although I was disappointed , I'm sorta ok with it. It was rather humbling. Me thinking I was a great singer, and someone in the biz with lots of experience saying...I'm decent. Though it is quite the compliment too, because I used to suck.
So on with The Fizziks. We're not a terrible band, we're not really impressive either. We're.....good. to me sometimes good isn't good enough, but I tend to be hard on myself.
I last posted about a lesson ad. I did have some action finally. A woman has a daughter that wants lessons, and possibly a friend. I called and left a message. She hasn't returned mine yet. I still have a student once a week. It's really helped my guitar playing. I might expand to a teaching facility.
The bass playing thing, didn't pan out. I tried to get a hold of the bass guy, and he didn't call back. I wasn't going to play with no equipment. We've sort of stopped talking about it. People I know have a bad habit of not returning calls. (as I type this one call has been returned)
