I found running a band really hard work; musicians are by definition hard work. Much more enjoy someone else doing it, and just turning up and doing the fun bit, having used about 1/4 of the previous time actually getting proficient on what I'm supposed to be performing. Also is an incentive, as if you contribute less in other areas, your "session" approach really has to deliver to carry you.
