The 6 of Clubs coordinate

Chris Wood's birthday maps to the 6 of Clubs (The Nurturing Creator). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vote and not a verdict on Chris Wood. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You pass on what you know without disappearing behind the lesson.

Chris Wood in the public record

Chris Wood was born in 1944, in Quinton, Birmingham. Wood had an interest in music and painting from an early childhood. He was self-taught on flute and saxophone, which he began playing at the age of 15. He attended the Stourbridge College of Art, then the Birmingham School of Art (Painting Dept.) and subsequently was awarded a grant to attend the Royal Academy of Art starting in December 1965. 18-year-old Wood joined the Steve Hadley Quartet, a jazz/blues group in 1962. Wood began to play locally with other Birmingham musicians who would later find international fame in music: Christine Perfect (later Christine McVie), Carl Palmer, Stan Webb and Mike Kellie. In 1964, Wood played with Webb and Perfect in the band Shades of Blue. From 1965–1966, he played with Kellie in the jazz band Locomotive.
