Oh Grace, I just noticed that you put your hand on Blinken's shoulder. Buddies, huh! He didn't know what to do with his hands, so he let them fall to his sides and stood there with a goofy grin on his face. That's MY girl, folks! She's got balls!
I've been meaning to ask you why you don't have a permanent drummer. Do those guys want a salary or something? Don't they realize how bad that looks? Fucking sellouts. But I suppose we can't all be ready to die for God or music. People need to make a living. You seem to me to have a more stable future as a musician than most others in Nashville, or maybe they just don't see it well enough to make a commitment. Maybe it's a sexist thing. Have you tried putting out an ad? Maybe get a female drummer who's close to your age? Maybe I don't have enough information, but it doesn't make sense to me that you don't have a permanent drummer. Maybe you need more original music.
Here's an example of where the drummer totally pushes the band to higher ground. It's the "My Generation" medley from The Who, Live at Leeds. Keith Moon had his problems, but here is proof of how legendary he is.
