Yesterday, I left the band that I have been playing with since I was 8. We were in CT, and the directors were treating my brother like crap. I had told them to stop or I would leave because it was really bothering me. I guess they thought I wasn't serious, but I left and went home. One director called my parents to say that they want me back to play this weekend, like hell I will go back. |

Hey Joe, Not every relationship can stand the test of time and I have no doubt that it felt good to walk out (been there, done that, got the t-shirt). I have but one question if I may; are there any contractual issues that are at stake here that could come back to bite your butt? Good luck. Ellery (Lowlife) |

No issues, and it was actually a very easy decision to make to leave, but was very difficult to do. |

I hear you. What about your brother? Obviously your sudden departure has left the band with a "hole" and if they were "ragging" the crap out of your brother before, are they petty enough to take it out on him? Just curious. Ellery (Lowlife) |

We both left. They actually told him that he should leave for some stupid reason. I didn't like that at all I had told them that, so I left. |

AJ, good for you. If they were treating your brother like crap then it's probably just a matter of time before they would do the same to you or a friend. Life is too short. Rich |
