Wow. I'm sure he will be missed among the band. But each of us has to follow our own path. You guys will be fine!
Oh, and there are some great 3 piece bands out there...Rush comes to mind!
Got the news just this past Tuesday that our second lead guitar player was leaving us to start a music ministry at his place of employment (Exec. director of 90 bed Christian alcohol and drug rehab) At first I was kinda shocked, but I understand the pull one can feel. Heck the same thing happened to me with the worship band I was playing in for almost 3 years..I left to pursue a different call. I am happy that I did! Even as a 3pc band: Guitar, bass and drums...wow Smokin' hot!
Now we just have to come up with a new band name...?? -Les

Drummers can be very tempomental.....
I wouldn't worry about it at all Les. You know how these things work out anyway. Now strap some cymbals to the inside of your kness, put that bass drum on your back with some beaters on your elbows, and pick up a guitar!!

Anybody besides me remember Triumph? Another great power trio.
Les, why do you have to change the name of the band? Members come and go from bands all the time without the remaining members changing the name. Am I missing something?

Let us not forget that Cream and The Police were semi-successful bands!
