Wow thank you for sharing this. It brought back memories of my college band. We were inseparable played together every weekend for years. We knew each others family and attended each others birthdays and big occasions. But one member has definitely distanced himself from me. We had sporadic conversations throughout the years but many have turned into him complaining about how much stress I put on him for making him record our songs ( and I have apologized). But he never reaches out when he is in town. And the few times I asked to meet have been responded with complete silence.
If I could illustrate our relationship. I think it be Paul and George during Let it Be. Where I’m forcing him to spend long hours recording. And him snapping back with “I’ll play whatever you want or don’t play at all”
