Yeah, it seems like whoever's in charge of the gig has trouble sticking to one plan :) Every week, it's changed, for better or worse. Let's hope it's not going to change again.

As for the drummer and bassist, keep in mind that we aren't officially a band yet. We've talked for a while, and I find them both to be some of the nicest guys I've talked to in my search for band members. There was one other, but he only wanted to do covers and was only in it for the money. Nice to talk to, very skilled, horrible mindset. I'm not certain on the guitarist yet either. It would be cool to have two guitars, but as you point out, there's the problem of egos. I'd rather go without a second guitarist, to start with, if that gives less ego-struggles :) The drummer has also pointed out that if we can just start out with Guitar, Bass and Drums, we have a trio, which is a good start (and hey, a trio works for some bands. Just look at ZZ Top. They're a trio, and they're doing just fine). I'm not too keen on having to do vocals, but if that's what it takes just to get a band up and running, I'll have to live with it for a while, until we find a dedicated singer :)

Add: We may have found a jam-date now. Saturday next week suits me and the bassist, and the drummer said it would be fine any time next week, so I take it he can do it on Saturday too :)
