I quit one of my bands this weekend
pamlicojack:
For the first time in 25 years of playing, I walked away from a band. I have so many irons in the fire that I was spending almost no time at home with the wife and/or kids.
After a long bout of soul searching. Cattletruck got the axe. I have nothing but respect for the guys and they are all top-notch musicians, but I just couldn't justify my time. I've spent the last 2 weeks in secret trying to line up candidates for my replacement and have passed along 5 potentials to the band. They may not use any of them but at least I can't say I left them in a lurch. I still have the Rayguns and we are playing out at a good pace, but one that the wife is comfortable with.
How did you deal with walking away? I'm still not sure how I feel about it.

I quit one of my bands in Sept. I just mentioned I needed a break and before I knew it, the guitar player and drummer said "Me too!" We left on great terms. I miss them but we're all better off now. I got lucky, it could have been worse. :)

I don't know if I could play in more than one band. Hats off to those of you who can.
