This is all good stuff guys, things I hadn't thought about.

Good point about keeping songs we already know rehearsed. If anything, we can keep doing that at rehearsal.

Axe - you make a good point regarding the manager. I guess that's a better description of what our mentor at the music school did for us. And yes, there are big red flags going off here. We had the same problem at the music school except we had our "manager" to step in. So this shouldn't be a surprise to me :-). I think we are in fact NOT on the same page, and that doesn't appear to be in any danger of changing.

What's sad is I got a call from a friend of mine who is a guitar player and a very good singer. He's looking for a paying gig, so it wouldn't have been long term anyway. I told him I'd give him a call down the road if we manage to get it together. I could not in good conscience get him involved in the situation as it is at the moment. I also told him to keep me in mind if he finds a gig that needs a solid rhythm guitar player :-).
