Came across this on another forum...

Six months of hard work, one gig, and it starts, or actually ends! Well, I said a few days ago that one monkey don't stop a show, but several of them sure can! It took six months of hard work to get the big group I wanted together enough to play our first gig, and it went over extremely well... But the honeymoon, and I guess the marriage too, is over now, because the lead singer decided he wants to take the next month off, and then only meet once a month whether we are playing or just rehearsing, because his life is just too busy with his job, kids, grandkids, other hobbies, etc. And, as soon as he said that the keyboard, drummer, and other guitarist bailed, all headed in different directions, or so it seems.
One wants a different set list, the other wants more money, and the other one just got an offer with an established group...
The biggest paradox of trying to get a decent group together seems to be that when I find the talent they have no free time, and when I find the ones with free time they do not have the talent!
Will it never end? I think I'm getting too old for this!
And, my wife wants to kill him!
