This is the image that I recently created for DoubleShot!’s search for a replacement guy. We’ve been spoiled in the past in regard to finding talented people to join the group. We found Steve, the first new 
guy, in our first round of auditions. Dre, our second and latest new guy, actually found us right as we were about to start looking again.
We’ve auditioned a few guys recently and they have proven to be talented vocalists, possibly talented enough to become the newest addition to our group. That said, we still find ourselves wanting more options before we decide on a replacement, and it’s no reflection on the guys that have come to sing for us. Personally, I think that it’s hard for me to ignore the fact that when we find the new guy, the old guy (Dave) will be leaving.
Having very similar senses of humor, it won’t be pleasant to see the person that I’ve laughed the most with in the group have his “final” concert. He’s been a quiet (if not occasionally inaudible)voice of reason over the years, making rehearsals, concerts, photo shoots, and other such things that much more efficient and enjoyable. He also hauled me around town for rehearsals and gigs when I was without a car*, allowing me to save both money and sanity. He’s a valuable member of the group, and he’s leaving a big pair of shoes for the new guy to fill.
Tonight, we’ll be taking a page from the conception of the group and will be heading to Señor Frogs for karaoke night. Though we’ll do some singing, our motivation for being there will be to scout out some possible auditionees. A few of our guys went out earlier this week, though it doesn’t sound like they really found anyone. Hopefully tonight will have a better showing. If not, we might have to get creative in our recruiting efforts.
*It occurs to me that I didn’t mention previously that I got a car. I did. It’s cool.
