Is it me or are Canadian musicians here in Southern Ontario mostly full of themselves?,full of false promises,lazy,like to name drop and waste time talking?
Why do I consistently bump into arrogant non-committal players, or the reverse -very pleasant inexperienced /hobbyist musicians?
You want to talk abject utter frustration?
I have been trying in vain with a friend to assemble a Paul McCartney/Wings type tribute together since Sept 2006.
We have had a number of players come through this seemingly ill-fated project. Now that we seem to have a stable line -up the singer left us a month ago.
Me and my pal are easy to work with, dedicated,enthused, sober,and usually see the light at end of the tunnel,why can most others not?
We have an agent patiently waiting to book us into places like Stage West,Casinos,and corporate events with great money to be made.
Some have said" if you have no gigs booked then you'll find no players", but how do you book such high end gigs without a singer?
Someone please show us that we are wrong? After 3.5 years of rotating line-ups and agents chasing us(at first) we are just about out of patience and lost faith that there are quality musicians here in particular a Paul singer/bassist..........
Any suggestions most welcome,
thanks
