I still get disappointed at the self serving decisions people make in music. But I'm getting over it now. I need the work. It used to be a passion, but while nowadays I'm still passionate about playing, it's a job first and foremost.
My favourite singer and very close friend recently pulled out of a project I'd set up.
I didn't get stroppy, she had a heavy workload and said she couldn't commit to it. Then not long after she went and auditioned for a busy function band.
Does it sting? Fk yes. What's my attitude towards it? Stay cool, after all I may pick up some dep work with her new band. And she puts regular work my way in another project. If I stuck out my bottom lip and spat out my dummy, how much better off would I be?
