God damn it. What happened to the days when bands just worked together, got along, and had a blast? Craig replaced Jack, which was like space ships replacing the hose & buggy. After a few weeks, Emily announced that she and Craig were going to date. John says, "bad idea, don't fuck up the band" and Kim & I are happy for them, although I had this underlying suspicion. After a week of that, Emily says she had to break it off because he was waaayy too serious about it. Craig, adding that heartbreak to the existing cutback on his job hours and worry of being laid off, got depressed and thought he should quit the band so he wouldn't have to deal with seeing her. Within a few days, he seemed to get over that enough and we practiced a couple times and played our first gig with him. They talked afterwards and he decided he could deal with it and would stay. Then other stuff happened that I won't go into, and he's out again. Fuck!
Perhaps our next guitarist can be an android that will play like a sumbitch and not speak or have feelings. Maybe they'll build one of those next at EVHGear.

We've been really lucky--there's only been one time in Hard Barney where someone caused a rift in the band, and we were able to work thru it. Having drama in the band isn't worth it and takes all of the fun out.
Too bad about your guitarist...maybe he'll come back to his senses again for good.
