A try with Butch

Butch placed an ad on Craig's List, looking for a bassist. He plays two nights a week in Georgetowne (bassist's share would be $100). I caught them playing; they had some nice harmonies while playing some pretty standard covers.

So, tonight, I went out to his play to see if we'd be a fit. I played with him and his wife. Butch was on guitar and vocals, she played keys and some vocals. Rhythm came from a drum machine. Butch is a stickler for vocal harmonies (all in all a good thing). We went through two or three tunes and the broke for the night.

I don't think that it's going to work out. They have a pretty large set list (100+ tunes), rehearse once a week on top of playing twice weekly. I also misunderstood the ad -- it's $100 for the week, not $100 a pop. I just don't think what I would get in return is worth what I'd have to put into it.
