Modern Saint
Starve your Fear, Feed your Dream!
Here are the order of events:
- I was offered a pickup gig last week for this coming Friday and I took it. This was at the same place we played 2 weeks prior
- Contacted my friend who subbed in for bass on that gig letting him know that a possible upcoming gig would be happening - would you like to play? He replied yes.
- Later on I find out that the guy who got the gig already got a bassist.
- Sadly I had to let my friend know that they found someone else.
- Later that evening my buddy from Sideways Down sends me a text asking me that one of the clubs got a cancellation and was wondering if I wanted to play on the same night with his band.
- I politely declined as I already committed to another gig that evening.
- Last night, I find out that the original gig was cancelled and they hired a DJ instead
- Feeling gig less, I notify my buddy if the offer was still open and that I am available.
- He was thrilled and said yes. Sadly he needs to let the other person he asked to play that I will be returning. As he pointed out, he prefers to have me play since I know the tunes.
- I did mention that if you found someone else to play, I don't want to step on anybody's toes since they committed as well. He said no problem, he will understand.
