We bonded over music. The first CD my husband ever loaned me was Mental Jewelry, the debut album from LIVE. They became “our band”. Why settle for a song, when you can have a band? “Dance With You” from Distance to Here, was our wedding song. We travelled out of state and out of country (twice) to see them perform live.

So its hard to see the band break up, to realize that everything turned sour. This was our band. I’m excited to hear what the former members are doing now, but I can’t help but be a little sad.
