No More Guitarist...

As you all well know, i am part of an all girl band called Adams Demise. As mentioned in my previous blogs we hunted and searched for a female guitarist to join our band. We worked with Cassie for a few months but collectively as a group decided that we no longer thought she was right for the band. This decision was based on Cassies current behaviour out with the band as well as her contribution to the bands activities. We felt she didnt put much effort into our material and that her personality no longer suited the rest of the groups. When making this decision we all got together and had a mature discussion. The rest of the band were in two minds about whether to give her another chance but I could tell they were all feeling sorry for Cassie and didnt want to admit their true feelings about her participation in the group. So I stepped up and decided that I knew she wouldnt be in the band for much longer anyway and that we better tell her sooner rather than later. When making this decision we all used teamwork, initiative as well as honesty which are all important factors when becoming a session musician. I felt that my contribution to the conversation was mature and the fact that I took the lead in encouraging everyone to come to their senses and to be confident that this decision was right for the bands future. This also means that I now have the confidence to make blunt decisions in the future, even though I may not like them. There are some decisions you have to make as a musician that you may feel uncomfortable and sometimes upset about making, but in the music world, you have to be strong otherwise you wont get to where you need to be.
