The end of an error?
SUNDAY 1/19/2020 6:15 PM-Combustibles practice was horrible… Actually it was worse than that, including MY playing…Maybe I’m used to Barry not being very good but I’m not used to Rick the keyboard player being bad...In addition, the (admittedly temporary) drummer was not very good either – he seem to have a built-in rhythm clock that ran slowly...I got the impression that Barry didn’t notice and that bothered me...
There was a point in time when Barry was (in my opinion) the weakest link in the band…Now there’s no doubt in MY mind that Rick the keyboard player is the weakest link by far…I think my playing was so bad today because I’ve given up on the Combustibles…In fact I sent Barry a resignation email during the one break we took...when I get back to my laptop Monday mid morning I will send him a more detailed explanation of why am leaving…My last gig with the Combustibles is February 29 – if I have MY way that is...
Right now, As far as I know, no one knows except Barry and Dianne...At just before 3 o’clock we stopped practicing, mostly because one of Rick’s other bands had arrived and was ready to practice…During the brief conversation I had with those guys it came out that I have a major crush on Angela Drago...I was hoping to keep that a secret but I guess that idea just went down the drain thanks to Rick, the jerk...If he hadn’t been high on pot that might not have happened...oh well, such is Life...In fact as soon as Robert the drummer got there, before he played a single note he fired up a bong and took a hit off of it...
8:40 PM-Barry says he was confused by my 3PM email… So I informed him a second time also via email that I’m leaving the band…a fair amount of weight has been lifted from my shoulders... I wonder how long Barry will keep the news to himself...
MONDAY 1/20/2020 11:20 AM--in FHB News, Brian wants to play WHITE ROOM at the 1/30 open mic...ok, no problem...he wants to sing BOTH parts-that kinda hurts MY feelings...does he not think *I* could sing Clapton's part? Is he afraid I'll drift too far away from the melody as written? Should I ask him? or just forget about it? kinda sad IMO...again, it feels like a lack of respect...
