Cellcert: Miller Auditorium - Kalamazoo, MI *Happy Birthday Clay!*

[heater]

FROM THE CB:

Mucho screaming. Introduces his stage mates. The holiday is a season about sharing. Doing the history of his Christmas tours. Jokes about being 29. Some of of the best orchestras they've worked with have been in Michigan.

Wanted to add something this year from the community but didn't know what was left. Didn't want to add politicians cause they're boring. Decided to turn to the audience/

  Hi Jen

Hang around - I'm sure you'll have a great time

Just jump in anytime you want to -- it's not as scary as it looks

[heater]

MCWL sounds wonderful tonight.

I like the way he has changed it up just a bit with emphasis on different beats and words.

The first reader for tonight is taking the stage.  It's Smitten from CV.

Sleigh Ride

Sounds like he is singing it very quickly tonight. 

Jingle Bells

This sounds very jazzy tonight.  The crowd just reacted to something, but not sure what.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Winter Wonderland

Apparently he is manhandling the microphone!   

[ILClaymate]

:hi all!  How's the birthday boy??    Oh the Jingle Bells medley was my FAVORITE!  So fun and he looks so happy singing it. 

Heather ~ thanks for all the reports and pics!  You rock. 

Welcome Jen!  Nice to have you jump in.

Hi Heather, is  there no cell-cert tonight for us ??? I hate that I can't be there, I wanted to be able to at least listen !!! It is killing me... RL 

I don't think there is tonight.  That's my understanding anyway.  Sorry!  I'll be recapping, but I know that's not the same!

 

Chrisie ~ so sorry you weren't able to go. 

On this note let me add another PSA....if you are planning on attending an upcoming concert and own a cellphone consider doing a cellcert conference call for us so that everyone (especially those unable to attend this season) can listen in.  If you would like more information or would like to volunteer, please pm me.   Thanks all!!

Christmas Waltz

I love his version of this song.  It has grown to be a favorite of mine.

He really is in great voice tonight!

Thanks Clandy

The second reader has taken the stage

Poor Chrisie I know you are so sad, all your plans and at the last minute you couldn't go.  ET announced that it was CLAY's birthday before they went off the air tonight.  Had a nice picture of him on the show.  I wonder if DEBI got to present his picture.

[Pepe]

HEATHER thanks so much for doing this recap for us.  I hear that our MEESA is in MICHIGAN I just found out, what a surprise that was, I bet everyone went crazy at the resturant when she walked in.

I hope she did too. Clay will flip out over it I'm sure.

Yep, that plan was in the making for awhile. So glad Messa got to meet the RTM  group. She will love them all.

Angela singing now

She sounds wonderful tonight as well

Clay back with Welcome to Our World

INTERMISSION

Meesa said that Clay was singing pretty softly during Welcome To Our World

He got a very good response after WTOW

He is wearing the short black jacket tonight

CHRISIE, you girls on the RTM sure can keep a secret.  Meesa to , she had to beside herself with excitement coming to the concert.  I wished I could have been at the resturant when she walked in.

FROM THE CH:

Intermission Report:

some seat re-arrangements to give clackers better view.

Regular black suit, glasses.

Hair looks a little flat to her but she hasn't looked at the pictures before.

Solo, the concert is very intimate, it feels like he is singing just to you (of course they are in the pit).

Voice is so good!

Second story (reader is a friend of Ficus). She had a premature triplets, one was very sick and they didn't think she would make it but she pulled through.

First reader seemed a little nervous but she read well.

Merrieeee said the show is wonderful. Lighting design is the same as last night. Very dramatic and very well down. Obvious that he hired someone who knows what he is doing.
