A lot of you know I play in a church music group. Instrument wise we have 1x 12 string, 1x 6 string, me on bass and a keyboard player + 4 or 5 singers. Bear with me here.
about 3 months ago we had a new youth worker start at the church, he happens to play a double bass, our minister recently retired and we had a farewell service for her and the church was full. Imagine my surprise when I arrived to find the youth worker there with his DB.
I asked him if he was going to play it alongside me and he said yes. I said one bass is enough for a small band like ours but he played anyway.
This guy never asked if it was ok to play, never came to a practice or said anything to us which I thought was damned rude!
Long story short it is our new minister's induction service this sunday so I rang this guy and asked if he was planning to play again and he said yes so I asked him not to and after some to'ing and fro'ing he backed down.
Am I being too precious about this? I really think his manners and etiquette are poor.
thanks.
