Once upon a time there were two music teachers who sang for their supper.  Literally and figuratively.

&nbsp;

As life went on and they parted from their school, the two music teachers remained soul sisters and singing partners.

&nbsp;

During one glorious Season of Life, they sang together at a Very Special Open Mic Night each and every Wednesday night.  They made many new and talented friends who you can check out here and here and here.

&nbsp;

This Season was the definition of "The Good Ol' Days".

&nbsp;

And then the economy tanked, the wine bar who hosted the Very Special Open Mic Night closed, and the two teachers and their friends drifted into their separate ways.

&nbsp;

The Open Mic Night Family reunited yearly for a Very Special Relay for Life Benefit Concert in conjunction with the local high school .  Everyone got a warm-fuzzy AND raised money for a cure for cancer.

&nbsp;

And then the Hostess with the Mostess who hosted the Very Special Relay for Life Benefit Concert called it a day when her children fled the nest.

&nbsp;

And then one of the (now former) teachers took on an <strong>insane blog project</strong> followed by a <strong>much saner blog project</strong> but still squawked about "lack of time".

&nbsp;

Life changes, gets in the way, we all get busy, yada, yada, yada.

&nbsp;

Enough already!

&nbsp;

Melanie and Michelle are back and ready for their World Tour!

&nbsp;

Legends in their own minds (obviously), they start first with their Very Special Friend's Open Mic Night at Tempe Center for the Arts.

&nbsp;

Next stop:  Who in the World Knows Where?
