What can I say other than, I know exactly how trying working with other musos can be. We've had more than our fair share of dickheads in the band, it's perseverance that gets you through though. Never give up but equally as much, never compromise and get weak musicians or get somebody in for the long haul when you know they are gonna bail on you two weeks down the line. It'll all come together eventually.

Good luck with it - hope it comes together for you soon mate.
