A number of months ago now, I had a chance encounter with an intuitive astrologer, who rather quickly blew me away with his perceptive interpretation of my chart. His first statement to me was, "So, you're thinking about moving." to which I replied, "I'm always thinking about moving." How did he know?
I had never heard of the concept that some places on the planet are better or worse for individuals, but it makes sense seeing that astrology is all about the placement and relationship of objects. He plugged some numbers into his computer and up popped a cool chart of the USA with lines running over it. The worst U.S. location is the north/south line running through State College, PA (sorry State College), but the best is the Pacific Northwest. And that's where I was born.
I was nearing the completion of my album at the time and promised myself that an album loosely musing about hearth & home deserves some live performance in the best location in country. Maybe somehow the songs will make more sense there, as they often make little sense to me here. And so, here I am and here I go.
