There's nothing wrong with someone making an offer to be in a band. But there's also nothing wrong with rejecting said offer (though I think it should be done professionally). A lot of great bands never would have happened if someone hadn't lobbied at a closed door (Eisley). _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Stacy wanted to be in the band, but Chauntelle and Sherri weren't interested. But she persisted and proved herself worthy. But I probably missed part of the point. I'm recovering from a week-plus of illness, and I'm half a country away from home. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

So I said, "Well, clarinet would be hard to add" and he said, get this... "Not really" Is the clarinet hard to add because it's inappropriate to the style of music you play? Tell him to save heis pennies, buy a wind controller/synth rig, and then come back and you'll talk. =) _________________ "If those are my last words, I can do better." |

Edit - I voted no because I have no musical talent. |
