some music work..?

What does it take to find a competent band to get out & create some tunes/generate a bit of income..? After 2 months of back&forth talks: an invite to a pre-audition to make the audition to make it as stand-in guitarist for a basement band. I received a 6 paragraph anal wine-list of the does & don'ts for this so-called "blues band"..! For Christ's sake I have advertised that I would play anything from completely unplugged to punk. How hard can it be..? Well I guess the Higher Power doesn't want me out playing @ this time. Thy Will Be Done, not mine ☝☺
