L_Bass_Dog85 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 ...only thing is she is my best mates ex girlfriend. I don’t want to cause friction as my mate enjoys our music, but I feel she can add flavour to our style. She is a far better musician than the four of us and also can play the violin and do backing vocals. Not at the same time though! What advice can you fine ladies and gentlemen give me? We feel the need for a keyboard player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
