Any day now

How much space do 1,000 CDs take up? In the next couple of days I'll know for sure. Though I didn't set out to create a project with an over-arching theme, all but two of the songs were written when I returned to the Northeast after a 10 year detour in the Midwest and West. So, more than anything the record is a love letter to New England and its summer green, shorelines, infinite kinds of trees, humidity, rain, everything I felt starved for while out West. I know most folks think 'autumn' and 'peak foliage' when they hear 'New England', but I think early summer and skunk cabbage bursting along the side of the road and spring peepers and foggy mornings. I've been back for eight years now and it never gets old. The record is called "Under the Ash Tree" and it'll be available for purchase about a month from now.
