Indeed Pat! This is something we definitely don't want. I played with a guy once. We practiced once a week, every week for a whole year and at the end of that year we had about 12 songs and still not a single gig in sight! Plus we had all the aids for backtracks and lyrics etc.Gave up on that one after that. As I said, I am not the most patient person on earth.


based on what I've seen among my group of musicians friends, I think this is a LOT more common than the phenomenon of taking the idea to a fruitful conclusion. Every musician dreams of performing... but it seems that most of them don't. At least, that's what I've seen.
