You are not alone.
I met some guys some time towards the end of last year,and I thought to myself,a bit too quickly,in retrospect now I realise,that we'd probably make a good team playing together.But I was wrong.The first one can't play in a rock band,or a band with a rock leaning(all bands,no matter how stylistically varied,having some specific leaning,right?).He's too into jazz,while I'm just starting to get to "feel" it,musically.He listens to rock and all(virually everything except country-which I love,btw),but still it's quite obvious to both of us that we aint gonna form a band.Together,ie.But we still remain very tight buddies,we share a lot of other stuff pertaining to life and all that.We'd probably date if he was a girl or if we were gay.
The other guy feels that not playing in church is a waste of your talent,that not using your skills to worship God beats the purpose of having been granted the skill in the first place.Well,I have no beef with worshipping God and all that.But hey,matters of religion are beliefs,and you cant preach water and drink wine,or preach water and not drink anything.Which is what I'd be doing if I was to try to become a rock Don Moen.So there.Nevertheless,we're still friends with the guy.I respect people's opinions.
Sometimes I feel like finding the right people to start a band with is a bit like love/sexual relationships,the chemistry and all.
Aiwass,when your band mate from S.A is going home heartbroken(coz his band broke)tell him about some lad you know from Kenya(that would be me)that wouldn't mind being in aband with him.Kenya is alot closer to S.A than Switzerland,you know.
