Members Big Daddy Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yep, hated to do it but it hasn't been the same since Dave passed away. They found a new singer last month and I got an email last week saying we would be practicing every Wednesday between now and Nov. 20th (next gig) to get him used to the arrangements. I have conflicts with every rehearsal date and the gig due to work and also more importantly the fact that deer season starts this weekend. I think I'm gonna take November off then find me another country gig. Anybody hiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members race81 Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 no doubt, you will have many offers BD. Sometimes when someone passes like that its good to get a fresh start. How did the other members take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Big Daddy Posted October 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 I spoke to the bass player and emailed the other guys. He understood. Honestly, I think he's ready to hang it up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeakerArk Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 You'll find something just as fulfilling. What about starting up a reggae band? You could call it Irie Insurance and the Itals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
