Um, Ted, does the band have any remaining commitments as a trio?

If so, are you planning to honor the commitments? If so, what can you do short-term, to be sure you will HAVE a trio? :~)

Cuz, if you do have gigs lined up, you might want to be cautious in the short term and THEN replace them! :~) Because as you have said, it's your name out there as the band's business representative, so you won't want bookers associating pissy band members' actions with you!
