I just got a call from a guitarist who I've jammed with a couple of times and he offered me a gig playing lead in the country band that recently offered him a gig playing rhythm. On one hand, even though I can handle lead, I much prefer playing bass or rhythm and country is the one genre of music that I don't really care for (except for Johnny Cash and some Willie Nelson). On the other hand, when they offered him the gig, he said that they're really good and that they have a showcase coming up (a showcase is when you have record company reps in the audience). Ultimately, I turned it down, but not without a few second thoughts. I just can't believe that I was just offered a gig playing lead in a country band. LOL
