I'm sure if I began checking bars near his home, I'd find someone who's
heard from him.

Just the same, I'd advise being a little more circumspect. Seriously!

OK fine. You're no fun.

At next week's open blues jam, I suspect he'll show up and say he tried to
call me several times. I'll give him the look my son calls the "make
yourself invisible right now if you know what's good for you" look.

So the real question is which is more likely to eat him - rats or fish? Or
are you near some crab beds - they'll eat anything!

The knucklehead finally answered his phone. His excuse for vanishing: "Oh
man...there's been some really weird shit going on here. Sorry. I'll see ya
at practice Friday."

The rest of the band voted to give him another chance. We'll see.

Years ago I was in the process of putting together a great band. One
of the better drummers in the area had just left her band, and joined
up. I had two great guitar players, and a lead singer who was AMAZING.
We blasted through about 35 tunes the first night we practiced, and
sounded excellent.

Two more rehearsals, everyone's doing their homework, and we're up to
about 50 tunes. Things are going great, and I put the word out that we
had a name, and were ready to take some bookings. At this time,
bookings were generally about 2 months out at the earliest, so I
figured we'd have some time to add some more non-standard tunes.

I get a call from a club asking if we can do a Wed-Sat gig, for GREAT
money, in two weeks. Cool! Chat with everybody, and take the gig.
Unexpected windfall, right? What a great way to start a new band!

Drummer disappears the next day. Three days, three messages, no
response. I knew where she lived, so I head on over and actually see
her sitting on her couch, but she won't answer the door.

By the time the gig actually happened, we were a 4-piece, I was the
lead singer & bass player, and we had drummer who'd never heard any of
the tunes before.

I've mentioned the trainwreck before. Ugh.

In the end, it all went fine, but... wow. What an experience.

Tough talk for a coward who doesn't have the courage nor integrity to post
his real name? What are all of you anonymous fucking pussies afraid of?

Re: Best way to dump a body?

I think my band might need to utilize some of these suggestions. Our
drummer (that I already did a lengthy rant about) just plain flaked today.
Not even a call with a usual lame excuse, nothin'. It's turning into a core
of two guitars (brothers) and me on bass. Our keyboard didn't show up
because he had transportation problems but at least he called. But he has
missed a bunch too besides.
I was very discouraged today because the one guitar was ready to hang it
up. I really would like it to work but we have already turned down 4 paying
gigs because we have nothing to offer. Even our best songs are not
performance ready. This is stupid because we played together for almost 4
years and had about 100 songs in our repertoire. Of course that was almost
20 years ago but still you'd think we could have whipped up an hour long set
list by now. But since last November we've had maybe 6 full band rehearsals
and half of those the drummer bailed after about and hour or so.
I had planned to have "The Talk" today but as I said 2 guys didn't show up
so that was that.
I am going to do "something" because I invested a lot in this reunion. New
bass, two amps and a large pedal board. I see several bass player
wanted ads on CL in my area everyday. Next week is Memorial day so It's a
safe bet the drummer will not show. So it's another week at least till we
can have a band meeting. Hmmm, I was a drummer for years before switching to
bass, was I like this? I know that's not true, I was as dedicated then as I
am with everything I do.

The drummer I mentioned - he showed up at Friday's practice missing his
cymbals. The excuse was something about running out of toothpaste. It's not
as if he has to haul much. There's a nice drum set where we practice
(guitarist's home). All he needs to do is bring sticks & cymbals. But
noooooooo.....he ran out of toothpaste. Or his canary ate his brain.

Canaries are very susceptible to zombiism. Keep 'em away from chickens.

He complains about someone not using their real name, but posts under

I'm so glad it's easy to Plonk guys like this now. Thank you, Grease

Posting with his real name AND a real email address. Guess I'm less of
