Visitors And The MNB Plans Ahead

I have a lot of friends coming to visit in the next couple of months... most only for a couple of days, but, still - I'm really looking forward to it. I'm not going to make any kind of top-ten list for maintaining my long-distance friendships, I'm afraid, but there are a lot of people who are not in my day-to-day life but who I really care about. And it will be wonderful to see some of them this summer.

Also, it looks like the MNB (likely under a stage name) will be performing in September. I was kind of hoping it would be sooner for the people who will be gone as of summer, but a little more time to polish some of the tunes won't hurt. I can't wait! Best onesthat we practiced tonight were by Maroon5, I think. Really well-written, and man.... they just groove. She will be loved has a certain, shall we say, chordal similarity to "With Or Without You" (along with about a billion other songs) in the chorus, but the melody line is distinctive enough that I don't think it hurts it at all. I'm going to be singing all night...
