Talk me out of this
I’m getting involved in something bad for me. With bad people.
Nothing good can come from this. The work is insurmountable. My ego is at stake! Yet, I must do it. I must grab the devil by his testicles and wrench thy sperm noodle asunder. It is my destiny. I’m starting a big band. Holy shit. I said it. Now if you don’t dig my wavelength big mama, let me lay it out for you, cuz. Starting a band is ****ing hard. Musicians are dip wads. Starting a big band means a lot more dip wads. Drums Bass Guitar (not me) Singer (me) Singer two (chick) Piano and organ dude Sax Trumpet Did I leave anything out? Like a ****ing xylophone? That’s a lot of mouths to feed, baby. Also, we got rules.
Actually it took me about five days to get commitments from all the players. It turns out, everybody is tired of doing mercenary gigs. There are no “bands” (as in consistent members playing consistent shit). Just sub after sub after sub. I did a show where the only actual member of the band was me. Everyone else was a sub. That’s normal around here. Forming an actual band is so old school. We already have The Impossible Band booked at a club. This will either be the most aggravating thing ever or the coolest. I’m hoping to make tens of dollars. |

Haven't heard you sing, but have heard you play - you sure you don't want to play & sing?

It will be the first time ever to perform without a guitar in my hands. Usually I’m the primary singer. Doing both at a high level requires one to give. I have insanely great guitar players. This project is bigger than me. I pray I’m not one of those American Idol dudes who can’t tell he is a terrible singer. We shall see. I’ll be singing Count Basie Billie Holiday Joe Williams Louis Prima Ray Charles Charles Brown All the easy stuff. |

Did this come from just a "jam", or did all the players know Roly Poly? |

That’s the biggest difference in how we do things now - no rehearsal, no song list always new players. We will keep doing that for that show. This other project will have song list, steady players, rehearsals. |

I don't try talking anyone out of anything. Waste of breath... But maybe you could look into starting a new religion? Sounds like no less effort and then there's the added benefit of being tax exempt.
