Okay, so last night I go do a few sets with a strictly "Fun Bar Band" I've played with, some, 'cause their lead singer/keyboard player is sick. Bumped into two of the 3 shit-kickin' Semi Accoustic gize I played with last year (stand-up bass, rhythm guitar both excellent in the harmonies vocally) and they said they want me to play with them. These are the ones I played with last year until their women asked if they'd dump me. Guess they have a change of heart.
Unfortunately, Kim, the wonderful male singer and mando/fiddle/ hot flat-picker who was the HEART of the group isn't allowed to come out and play at all anymore, it seems. So wrong. He works his day-job hard and well. Brings home the bacon. Adores his wife and child. Gives them everything. I see trouble comin' in their back door. He's just incredibly pussy-whipped, I fear.
I don't know if I've got the ability to carry all the leads and LEADS. Maybe we'll work some things up and try it. Should we pick up a lead player or mando/fiddler? Would this be betraying Kim? It feels like it.
