Am I Mad?

[MiltyG565]

Ok, before you all jump in with your witty replies;

I messaged somebody who was looking a bassist for his band. I volunteered myself for the role.

Honestly now - Am I mad?

[discreet]

You're a bass player. You wanted to join a band. Someone was looking for a bass player. You got in touch.

What could possibly go wrong??

I suppose you are right... What could possible go wrong?

Go Milty, go kick up a din.

[LukeFRC]

Milty - are you coming out the closet as a gigging bass player?

[seashell]

Yes you are mad. But in a good way. Go for it!!

Honestly..? But of course..! Aren't we always..?

Honestly... Yes, but not for those reasons, and no more or less than the rest of us. Welcome to real life. Fun, ain't it..?

Go man, go!
Looking forward to hearing all about this!

[flyfisher]

Good news, I hope it works out as you want it to.

As for madness, it's all relative so I wouldn't give it a second thought.

[MiltyG565]

Thanks guys!

So I'm either not mad, or only as mad as everyone else? Fine by me!

[Donnyboy]

Just normal.

You turn up at the first rehearsal and then they come clean and tell you it's actually a Suzi Quattro Tribute Band

[jakenewmanbass]

do you mean to tell me that you've spent all this time here without full confirmation of your status as both stark and raving... I'm saddened, nay wounded.
Get thee to the practice room and beg for forgiveness.

[steve-bbb]

what's a practice room??

[xgsjx]

A colleague at my work asked if I was walking home & I said yes, they said "I'm going the same way as you", to which I replied "What? Mad.".

So I suppose the new term could be "Mad as a bassist".

[leschirons]

Good for you. Give em hell Milty.

You seemed a little uncertain on how to handle the situation...

You speak for yourself! Now, I must get on with packing these monkeys or Batman will be furious.

[neepheid]

No, you're not mad.

To quote the great Elwood P Dowd

Just don't forget come audition time that you are checking them out as much as they are checking you out. Don't be afraid to back out if they look like a shambles, it will save you time in the long run.
