Sometimes you have to quit

Hi guys,

i know! I definitely have to apologise for not bloggin a long time.
Folks who know me are not surprised at all.

Anyway... a story which began about 6 years ago will end next week.
One of my music project are gonna quit. I had a lot of fun with the most of the people there.
But during the last few month there where so many senseless discussions initiated by exactly one person, that a clear decision had to be taken.
Owing to the personal development of many band members "we" decided to make a break for at least 8 month. Julia is going to take a semester abroad (possibly making an intern with siemens in orlando florida), peanut is going to study and jo will hopefully be able to start his jazz studies at the conservatory.

For me having no main project offers me new opportunities.
I got offered a few new jobs in bands, for example.
But most probably I start something what is in the back of my mind for a long time.
Playing Doublebass.
I am thinking about it every few month. The reason why didn´t launch into it has been
the lacking of time. The Upright is not a kind of an instrument which you can learn along the way. In fact you have to provide a specific amount of time. Let´s say about 1 to 2 hours a day (at least in the beginning).
The second thing which kept me away was the costs of these instrument.
A passable bass is worth about 2000 bugs.
It´s not like a bass guitar, where you can get a assumable one for about 350 bugs.
Well let´s see what will happen the next few weeks.

I hope i will be intractable on this thing.

Take care!
