The end of GCH
In all practical ways, the band (Ghostrunner Come Home) has dissolved. Seems short-lived, mostly because we only played two shows, I think. Came apart for several reasons, with "artistic differences" only a small portion. I'm a little disappointed, but I also feel free again. Time to go back to my original gameplan: keep making the music I like, and wait for people to come along who understand the vision and have the time to contribute. For me personally, I fell away from that gameplan and got in a rush to put things together when the pieces weren't quite there. It's weird, because this is one of those instances where maybe I could be bitter or maybe feel relieved. Another failed band or a fun couple months. I choose to feel relieved. And it certainly was fun to play with others, even if it was less than ideal. I'm not posting anything on the GCH site yet because I still have to talk with our bass player about it. I'm sure he's pieced it together by now, but I want to at least end this thing with dignity. Besides, the saddest part of GCH's breakup for me is that I no longer have a "natural" reason to hang out with Adam, though I really enjoy hanging out with him. Maybe there's more musical futuredom ahead.

bummer... but glad you have perspective on this.
Noooooooooooo!
I knew the three of you super-egos could never coexist without my calming influence.
Dearest Gregory,
It was only your ultra-ego that kept our super-egoes in check and too fearful to compete with each other. When your glorious presense was removed...shameful acts, unmentionable acts.
thou art missed, o favored educator.
Actually, that's probably closer to the truth, minus the "glorious" part.
Either way, it sucks.
Did we still get the other songs recorded?
Survey says:
Yes, we did.
Will be available shortly. Which in GCH time means "about six months from now." :)
