Guest Denise said "2. People who want to make a long-term committment are rare! If you're going to be taking gigs from various venues, there will be practice time involved.
And I don't care what anyone says, if it's going to sound good--and TOGETHER--you will need to practice. No matter how good you are!"
Good point! This is why sometimes the hard personal stuff is worth weathering. I would agree with others too though. There is definately a point when you need to consider calling it quits, but that is something that each individual person would have to figure out for themselves, wouldn't most agree?
I work with a band, and it can sometimes be a real pain in the keester. What keeps me going when times are rough is that when we are on stage, the years of performing together makes a real difference. The music/performance has matured over time (even if we haven't!) ;D
