Thread Name: Bands - democracy v dictatorship
Subject: RE: Bands - democracy v dictatorship
I like for there to be one person to manage bookings. When one of the others hears of a possible gig it gets channeled to the booker who then gets everyone to okay the date.

The singer should get to veto songs he/she can't handle, unless another can willingly and competently sing it. Most everything else is handled democratically in my groups. Sometimes there will a song or tune one of us dislikes but will play for either the sheer enjoyment of being able to play something, or to make the others happy, ie compromise is part of democracy. Normally my band members are pretty compliant, the days of infighting over issues died with my youthful bands.

Peace, Mooh.
