A Good Lead... Maybe

Despite having made contact with Christian regarding another recording session, I decided to pursue other alternatives as well as the studio time. The other day, I put an ad up on craigslist stating that I was a singer looking to join or start a band. Not five minutes after posting my ad, I got a call from a guy who was looking to diversify his band with a new lead vocalist. The music style is not as hard rock as I was originally looking for, but it is still a style I can sing.

I nailed him down for a time to meet up, so that it wouldn't end up like the last lead and come to nothing. He also informed me that they had already had a couple other "singers" try out for the part but they were no good. That kind of makes me a little nervous, but I just have to remain confident that the other singers really were terrible and I will do much better. I am meeting him and possibly his band later tonight. Wish me luck, and I will let all my fans...
...know how it went.

Where to Go Next

So as for the lead I had from the other "motivated" guy near me who was trying to start a band, it appears as if he has lost interest. Correspondence has ceased and it has been about 2 months since I first made contact with him. It appears all hope for this lead is now almost completely gone. That is sad....

I have however, managed to connect with Christian, my former collaborator, and we are planning on working on our song again next week. This has rekindled my faith in humanity, and I will now burst out in song! OK, so I can't quite burst out into song yet, my voice is still on its way back after going on vacation for about a week because of a cold. I joked with people that I had caught the Swine Flu, but in reality, if it was indeed the swine flu, I recommend it above the seasonal flu.

Anyway, enough about the Swine Flu, this is not a medical journal.

So to all my devoted fans (joke) I bid adieu and farewell, until we next meet... I can joke like this because I don't think I have many regular readers (only Mi), so nobody will think less of me for taking the level of seriousness down a bit.

So until next time, keep up the fanaticism!

Slow Progress

So my previous post left me feeling rather like giving up on the whole project and forgetting all about it. In all reality I knew then that I wouldn't give up because, after all, singing in a band is one of my aspirations and I can never stop trying. So I have been corresponding with this other potential musician who claims to be very motivated about starting a band. Unfortunately we only are able to send one email a week because of his schedule right now, so things are going slow as always.

We also apparently have a full band, as a good drummer has finally been located (to my knowledge). I can't remember what I posted last time or if I said anything about the two guys I know who play instruments and are interested, but so far we have 2 ½ vocalists, 2 guitarists, 1 bassist, and 1 drummer. Perhaps later we shall find someone for keys as well but for now we'll stick with what we have.

And as usual, I like to end my posts on a hopeful tone. So here goes: Hopefully we will begin corresponding more often and hopefully we can get this show on the road soon.

Oh, and I can't call myself The Scientist anymore because that name has been taken for like, 3 1/2 decades already Some guy took it from me before I was even born!!
