Thinking about putting together a band

Sunday, August 03, 2008 @12:04:53 AM

I feel brave or stupid enough to try to put a band together. I'm torn between two approaches that I've followed in the past:

Ask friends who are musically simpatico to play with you. This is my preferred approach, and I have some close friends who are really good musicians who are stylistically very compatible with me. One plays Romanian fiddle and has recorded with me in the past, the other plays accordion and is a wonderful singer to boot. Unfortunately, they're both stupendously busy with other projects and not likely to take on anything else right now.
Sniff around for other musicians, post ads, etc. I have done this before with rock bands and am still close to some of the cats I've played with. This would require me to meet people (I am a classic introvert), though, and engage in quasi-auditions. I'd rather be shot with tacks. That is a bit of an exaggeration, but just a bit.

I'll likely break down sooner or later and go with option (2), as much as it pains me. I'm itching to work on more tunes and play them in front of an audience, and it seems like the only way to go. Sigh.
