I can imagine how hard that is, Wesley, and imagine your band mates are feeling the grief too.

Best of luck to you and your family on your move to Atlanta. Sounds like you will seek out some of the wonderful music circles there without excessive trepidation, and will probably find yourself growing even more as a musician and performer as you meet the challenge of finding and meshing with new musicians. Whatever you find will be something new, something different, and perhaps at least as wonderful - but will not be a replacement for what you are losing.

From your post, it seems you know that already.
