Not sure I ever made money or not....

Back when we used to play 30 to 50 gigs a year maybe I made money.... but I bought a LOT of equipment. A new drum kit is not cheap. Add sticks, mics, amps, stands, percussion accessories.... if I made any money at all it was very little.

I will miss my current band, no doubt. Very good memories. I will NOT miss completely changing our song repertoire. We've been playing the same songs for far too long. don't get me wrong... I like the songs... but play them a few thousands times and they start to wear on you.

Pretty sure the other guys will want to find a lead guitar player... problem is.... only drummers are more stark-raving insane than lead guitar players.
