<<I too would prefer being in a talking rather than a listening-to-music environment. What I look forward too--if my schedule permits--is being with each other.>>
I whole-heartedly agree, David...I assure you that I'll be more interested in talking and listening to my old & new pals, and in the midst of live music, it can be more difficult to do that as well as be very rude to the performer. I'm trying to get all my sleep in this week so I won't have to close my eyes any this weekend! :~) Bob NP: Michael McDermott, "A Wall I Must Climb"
