I got kicked out of the folk band I’d been singing with for two years. No good explanation. The guitarist/self-appointed all-knowing leader ‘decided that I didn’t have time for it anymore’. This was right after Christmas break, at the beginning of which I told him I could practice/play out as much as he wanted over break, he just needed to call me, which he never did.
So, about that CD…
Honestly, I am glad. It was a bad situation and I was constantly stressed out and upset because of it. We weren’t going anywhere, and I wasn’t anywhere close to getting my CD because he just never wanted to work on it – we’d spend hours on songs HE would select for gigs, and then end up never singing them. I felt we needed a CD to help market ourselves and to sell online and at gigs, because he wasn’t good at negotiating what we got paid for gigs or getting us better ones, and we were barely breaking even.
So it’s time to move on. I don’t know what’s coming next. A friend is a bassist/vocalist, and we’ve been talking about getting a guitarist and drummer and starting a project together… not folk this time, but I am still a folkie at heart. I miss it.
We’ll see what comes next.
