Colorblind Chameleon is Over
A complete shock to me. It happened swiftly and quietly. I’m pretty confused, frustrated, sad, angry and everything else.
The guitarist wrote a 1 paragraph email talking about how he’s thought about it for a while. He’s not progressing as a musician, just maintaining. No more cover bands, no more band. He’s taking a break.
WTF, we just spent 21 months practicing and for it to suddenly stop? That’s a lot of freaking time to put in to just suddenly quit without warning. Dayum. He has definitely has lost my respect. I do appreciate him embracing me and teaching me things. I’ve come a long way and feel pretty good about my skills. But that does not come close to someone pulling the rug from my feet. We had our first planned gig in 2 weeks. To be so close and this happen. Phuck me.
My wife is not surprised. She’s worked with him on a professional level (he’s a carpenter/contractor by trade) and told me when he gets an idea to do something, it comes swift without warning.
It got me down the first day, but I said phuck it and I’m plunging forward. I contacted the Bass player (a friend of mine) and asked if he wanted to continue forward and he said yes. I guess it’s a matter of a sit down and figuring what to do next. I have ideas definitely for me. Hopefully they mesh with his.
So I guess this thread is over.
But I'll continue on with something else with my new journey's. I'm scared, excited, determined, passionate. Wish me luck.
What should the new thread be?
