So today we had band practice as we do every tuesday. Today was different, our bassist Nick came. He usually didn't attend practice as he is busy or we forget to tell him before we started this once a week deal. We were all talking before practice and have been about we should find someone new in his position. He really seemed like he did not care to be at practice or in the band at all. I texted him after practice asking him if he did care he replied with "To be honest not anymore man, sorry" Which was kind of what I wanted/didn't want to hear. It has been frustrating having him not care recently and now it is sort of a relief and excitement we get to work with someone new. At the same time, he has been one of my best friends for the past 3 years and if member changes have taught me anything you don't stay the same friends after you are not playing together all the time. I am still grateful for our friendship and have done a lot together, even traveled the world! Not many friends can say they've done that at the age of 17. When there was a rough part in the band he stuck with me and I don't think he'll ever know how much I appreciated the support.
We have a new bassist, someone who we are all stoked to work with and hes stoked to work with us. For awhile, it won't be the same but i'll get used to it. I'll miss having him around to fend off our peanut allergies, to watch him play smashed drunk, listen to his terrible jokes and many more memories.
