Having a home is harder these days than ever, for any number of reasons. We got together with Mary McBride last year at The Mansion On O in Washington, DC. She played us some songs, and this one was to be on her fourth album, The Way Home, which was released in June, 2010. 
That night at the Mansion, Mary told me she was going to do a very interesting tour, she was going to all kinds of homes. She launched "The Home Tour" in the summer of 2010. Mary and the band traveled to "places people call home" - including supported housing communities, long-term health care centers, homeless shelters, homes for people living with HIV/AIDS and homes for people living with mental and physical disabilities. They played for the elderly in Washington, DC; for Navajo families living in supported housing in New Mexico; for children in the Treme' district in New Orleans; for a farm worker community in rural Washington State; for veterans recovering from injuries and living indefinitely at a VA hospital in Long Beach, CA. That’s just part of the list. The band partnered with non-profit organizations which hosted the community-based concerts. You can find out all about it here.
We wish you home for the holidays, home within yourself, “Home.” Mary McBride.
