How to avoid getting fired from your own band [View all]

Last edited Thu Oct 5, 2023, 05:47 PM - Edit history (1)

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local band was so desperate to hire a bassist, they considered a female one. Opening line: "Met with this lady last night..."



Opening line: "My only concerns are that I hope..."




There's no indication of what this bandmember plays, but if he can't operate his instrument or vocals any better than he can a mobile phone, HE'S the one who should be looking for a job:



That's right! He sent that message to the aspiring bassist instead, who in turn sent it -- well, EVERYWHERE via Facebook! He apologized, though it's not clear whether he's sorry for the unprofessionalism of his attitude toward women or the unprofessionalism of his phone texting skills.



And now for the bad news: this drama has a cliffhanger ending. There's no indication of what the bassist wrote after "No problem, hope you find..." What do you think?
