Subject: RE: Commitment and Success in NYC Folk
I was musing on the Quaker concept of simplicity and the band... Commitment and responsibility to your band is not unlike commitment in marriage. For a marriage to succeed it takes work AND commitment. If one complicates one's life by chasing other girls around, it makes for such complications that one can't enjoy the simplicity of a committed marriage. What my present band mates want is to have an affair with this band, and leave me wondering if I am out in the cold on the next gig. Basically they want all the good that might come out of the band for free. SO, on to another pack of folks, hoping these guys will keep their vows. Cheers Larry
