That's true. And besides, if I hadn't gone to play with this guy, I probably wouldn't know if there was a chance of starting a band together. But I went ahead and now I know that the chances of us starting a band are very slim.

[QUOTE=haghj500]So, I see your time spent in the reverse of how you are looking at it. I think you learned a lot of subtle little things or had things you are starting to realize reinforced.

I think you're right, both of you. Perhaps I did learn a lot of those little things that might not be that obvious when you look at it from the outside. All those big, successful rock-bands always make starting a band look easy, but it really isn't.

Either way, I'm going to see if the other bassist and drummer has time to meet and play sometime soon. This little detour isn't enough to make me give up :) I still intend to get a band started up and take it from there.
