Bailing On Your Band

Hey Norris, If you have been on BC for a while, you will know that Daryl is well known for staring threads like this for discussions. 

I've been on here for decades and I'm very familiar with Daryl's threads. Just this one seemed a bit different and some of his recent posts might have indicated a slight lack of confidence / self deprecation. I'm much reassured by his reply though 👍

Thanks Pete,

 

The band is pretty helpful.  They actually suggested playing " direct out" so I don't have to lug around an amp. And they let me ride in the van when there's a long distance to a gig.

I think this shows how they value you Daryl. Hang in there.

Pete, I think you're right regarding loyalty.

 

I've been with Maple Road  since 2009. Since then we have replaced a guitarist and several drummers.  I've been the only constant and I've never missed a gig. However, I'm getting older and need help getting to some gigs. The other members are much younger than me. I occasionally get paranoid thinking they might be looking for a younger bass player.

Nope 

Judging by “them changes” youre doing fine
