Run-in with a new group

Jay Bushman and I got in contact with each other through the DC Bass Players mailing list. After a few false starts, I went over to his place/studio this morning and we went through a bunch of songs that he has written. For the most part, they were pretty straight-ahead blues tunes. He plays with a drummer and a keyboardist/guitarist. The arrangements reminded me of well, kind of generic blues and Jay's vocal stylings immediately made me think of a friend of mine.

I initially agreed to play with these guys to do some tracks on their album they are trying to put together, but I get the feeling they are looking for a more durable commitment. To be honest, I don't think I have the available bandwidth to take on another project. A recording project is a two, maybe three weekends -- counting rehearsals. Playing in a band is a whole different animal.
