Tanja (Tranja's wife):

Some men never grow up. Actually, somehow, all men are not growing up. But, anyway, there's nothing new about it...At first, I was against it. I didn't like the idea that Miroslav (Tranja is the nickname) would spend a part of his already reduced spare time with his friends from the "band" instead of his own children. But, then he decided to rechedule his working time and everything had came to the right place. The children are happy and my husband is happy too. The crucial moment when I had changed my oppinion was when he seriously said that he needs "a safety valve" from a stress and, to be honest, since he loves to play guitar and sing (in the same time, of course), it suits me more if he plays, sings and fools around on the band rehearsals than at the home. It suits me more because this "stress relieving process" lasts at least 3 – 4 hours once or twice a week. At the end, we all as a family are quite satisfied with the compromise.

Tijana (Zoran's wife):

The band and my husband's involment in it? Well, for sure it's not a new situation for me, although he hasn't spent so much time on rehearsals in a couple of years like he's doing now. Anyway, I don't mind. His everyday work mainly takes place at our home where his shop is, so our family does not suffer from his occasional absence during the band rehearsals. I must admit that it was a kind of relief for me and especially for our neighborhood when they decide to move rehearsals from our garage to Daniel's house. I think it would be ridiculous if I say a one word against their band, because it is obvious that it's not just the ambitious rehearsing but it's more a hanging out with the friends (a sort of "recreational" rehearsing J ). Since it lasts not more than couple of hours every week, I like it better if Zoran is with the band in the garage then to spend the same amount of time hanging in some of the local bars.

Anja (Danijel's wife):

I'm glad that Danijel and others have chosen music and the band as their hobby. It's far more better than sitting at home and watching movies or playing PC games in their spare time. As I said many times before whether they like it or not, everything about it is great but, they must become much more serious if they want to be considered as a serious musicians. Most of the band are not just Danijel's friends, but mine too and that's the reason why I'm criticizing them when they let them self loose too much and not practicing their repertoire. Especially, since they started performing live and since I watched all their live gigs, I think that my criticism is completely justified. Of course, they are not happy about it, but, who cares, they all supposed to be a grown up people and they should be able to accept some constructive criticism. But after all, on the other hand, they are still like a children (and I didn't say anything new), so from time to time, somebody have to bring them back in order :). Nevertheless, I'm happy because I would dislike Danijel's hobby much more if he would have, by any chance, practice football (for instance) instead of music.
