2014 lineup?
In 2020, Lucky Chops released 2014, their first studio recording, from 2014. It features Jesse Chevan on drums and Timaine Bryant on sousaphone. Neither of these appears on our timeline of members, and Raphael Buyo is noted as a founder member in 2006, so I'd assumed he was on sousaphone continuously until 2018.

Anyone have any information on this (?). Did these just fill in for the recording for some reason? Or did Buyo leave for a bit? What about Chevan, should he be on our timeline of members? Was this recorded during their professional period or just before? TSP (talk) 16:03, 30 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Okay I got a response pretty quickly: "Timaine would play with us when buyo had work since he was doing nursing and playing with us at the same time" and "I think it was very end of 2014 and beginning of 2015 with jesse but I can’t remember off the top of my head ... He was in the band for quite some time before I joined the band in September/October 2014"
 * So Timaine filled in for Buyo when he wasn't availible, and Jesse left around the turn of the year. I'll update the timeline to reflect what he said for Jesse; how do we want to approach it with Timaine?

 * I'm aware of both Jesse and Timaine playing on the 2014 album. To the best of my knowledge Jesse played before the year 2014, making a situation a little like Buyo playing on the album Lucky Chops and leaving immediately afterwards. Not sure what the situation with Timaine was though? I'll ask and update the timeline/article accordingly. The dates and members on the timeline came directly from Joshua Gawel so I'll double check with him.

 * Sounds like Timaine was functionally a touring member? (Though normally touring members kinda by definition don't record, but it was a live session that maybe wouldn't be thought of like an album recording.) So I'd suggest a second row under Buyo's with the line for touring member? Or we could do a new line colour for "alternate" or something?
 * We should also move the start date of the timeline onwards if Joshua G only joined in Septemberish 2014, it seems like that, not the start of 2014, is the start of the fairly consistent professional band? TSP (talk) 23:09, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Good idea, I'll adjust the start date to Sept; for Timaine how about using a grey line called "stand-in"? Isaac B 23:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GORD3N (talk • contribs)
 * I've had a go at adding him - I've gone with "Alternate Musician" for now but I'm not that fussed about the terminology! TSP (talk) 02:47, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, that looks good to me Isaac B 15:10, 31 January 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GORD3N (talk • contribs)
