Or it might seem like something that just makes you homesick. In the case of Berkeley-based songwriter <a href=\"http:\/\/danahubbard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dana Hubbard<\/a>, it was a little of both. I recently checked in with Dana &#8211; he was a guest way back in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/archives\/255\" target=\"_blank\">episodes #64 and #65<\/a> &#8211; after he&#8217;d returned to California. <\/p>\n<p>Fueled primarily by house concerts and festivals, Dana started in the northwest coast last April, and journeyed to Minnesota and back. He travels in a small, fuel-efficient RV, which keeps him self-contained since he&#8217;s not constantly transferring himself and his gear to hotel rooms and back.  <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/earthsongonline.com\/dana-hubbard\/lightnins-cadillac\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3952\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/dana_hubbard_cover.jpg\" alt=\"dana_hubbard_cover\" width=\"300\" height=\"297\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3952\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/dana_hubbard_cover.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/dana_hubbard_cover-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been doing this for years, but as we learn in this kitchen-table chat, this particularly extensive trip gave him a chance to play to people and end up in several impromptu performances that never would have happened on a conventional tour. In addition to a recap of the tour, we talked about his new CD, <a href=\"http:\/\/earthsongonline.com\/dana-hubbard\/lightnins-cadillac\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Lightnin&#8217;s Cadillac&#8221;<\/a>, how changes in the economy have affected house concerts, and how &#8211; at least for a performing songwriter &#8211; the CD isn&#8217;t quite dead yet. <\/p>\n<p>This interview includes clips of &#8220;Rubber Band Song&#8221;, &#8220;When Angels Stop and Stare&#8221;, and &#8220;It Chooses You&#8221; from the new record.
