no no, don't get me wrong. I know and I'm glad. (actually, I'm not too far from FL)

I was just saying it's weird that the only concerts announced are either FL or Hawaii.

Not so random, actually. A reader asked Keith Caulfield why so many acts start their tours in Florida...

STARTING AT SUNRISE
Hello Keith,

Why do so many U.S. tours (like Rod Stewart's 2007 tour) begin in Sunrise, Fla.?

Gideon Mark
New York

Hello Gideon,

That's a fun question. I asked our touring editor, Ray Waddell, about this, and here is his response.

"A lot of fall and winter tours start in Florida (Lakeland is another example) because acts like to rehearse down there, the weather is nice and you can route in any direction. Tours typically take a route east to west or west to east."

Stewart's tour begins on Jan. 12 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. (which is right next door to Ft. Lauderdale.) The tour then travels to U.S. cities in the south east, then up the east coast, then to Canada and over to the West coast. From there he works his way down the coastline before heading to the south west and mid-west before finishing up in Milwaukee, Wis. on April 27.
