Hey all,
It pains me a great deal to say this because the guys and I have been looking forward to playing next week for months. However we lost one of our guitarists and the transition has taken longer and been more complicated than we thought.
We're parting ways with Joe as friends but we were unable to find a replacement until just this past Wednesday. There just isn't time to get the guy up to speed and he's not available in any event for the saturday gig. We thought about trying it minus the one guitar but since our stuff is written for two guitar slots, one of which is a gunslinger, we just can't plug that hole.
Of course, the drummer and I valiantly tried to compensate with Moon/Entwistle bottom end pyrotechnics, but...alas...to no avail.
We wanted to thank everyone for the support given that you'd never even heard us and hope we can get a slot for next year's rally.
And just to say...this does not give anyone permission to make up stupidass bass jokes or stick stuffed fish in my backrest this year...we tried.
See you all Friday...
BB
