Thanks Meesa for starting the thread.

I'm here early cause I just talked with Tammy and Rainy on the phone.

Getting a cellcert from Tammy and it was nice to hear her voice for the 1st time and she wanted to see if she could hear me clearly. She'll call me again when they get to the venue.  Also talked to Rainy before the concert and she was so excited. They were having dinner. Said Rainy was chained to the chair.  :lmao She seem calm to me when I talked to her so that's good.  Also met someone that's been to a lot of concerts and they are going to try to get her here to post at Claymaniacs. Rainy found where the buses are going to be.  :bouncy Everyone is going to go so keep your fingers crossed Clay's shakes hands with all of them. :cross

The venue is like none other that the reporter has ever been too. 

It's in a large ballroom type room.  All of the seating is flat.  The stage is the only thing that is raised.

The table seating is in the middle of the room and seems to be the better seats.

All the seats in the back are very far from the stage and may not be very good.  Reporter can't really tell what the view would be like.

Apparently there are reports that the intermission is going to be long.

jojoct & SecretlyLovesClay are both there, so there should be clack.

Word is that Clay had a great rehersal this afternoon and he of course did rehersal in his pj pants.

This venue is less than a year old and this is the first concert.  The symphony will be playing other concerts in this venue going forward.

Attendance is approximately 1700

The whole place is full now.  There are varying reports of how many people the place holds.

During intermission they talked to someone who is in the very last row in the place and she said she could see pretty well, so that made the reporter feel better.

There are security guards walking around.

How y'all doin' tonight?

Clay reiterated that this is the first concert in this facility.  The symphony will play here a lot in the future.

Has a very classy, very professional group of people on stage.  He's just a scandal king because he puts his hand over people's mouths, you know.   

Talking about when he was in 9th grade (a long time ago) he was introduced to a song by one of his teachers. 

Ended up naming the Christmas album after it.

Talking about the amount of men in the audience.  Raise your hands.  We won't embarrass you.  Told one guy he has a table so he can lay his head down and go to sleep.

Speaking to Jim.  He's the closest guy to the front.  Came with his wife Joanne. 

Clay just used he word debocle!  :lol

Jim bought the tickets as a surprise Christmas gift, I believe.

Did any other men come voluntarily?

The end of HYAMLC was amazing!

It's time to go on a Sleigh Ride!

The audience is clapping along.

Clay doing his "giddy up" motions again.

Lots of screams from the audience.

I swear this song gets faster and faster every night!  :lol

Lots of giggles from the reporter in the middle of this song.

I think he had them turn up the house lights again.

Here we go with the binoculars talk again!

He asked how much the lady in the 3rd row paid for her seat.  She said $100.  He said he wouldn't pay that much!  :lol

Clay doesn't understand the need for the binoculars when you are that close.  What in the world are you looking at!

He said she could probably see all the way to Delaware!  Or maybe she's looking up his nose!  He doesn't know what she's looking at, but feel free!

It's time for word of the night!

We want you to leave educated.  It's another fancy Eye-talian word.

I'm not sure what the original word was.

Someone guessed but didn't raise their hand.  He told the person to come up to the stage.  She had a dictionary!

He's gone through several words and people have known the defintion to all of them.

He wants to know what is up with these Connecticut people!

Word of the night has been ruined according to Jesse!

He said he's hot, so he might have to take his coat off.

How many people haven't been to a concert?  Now how many have been?  Y'all always scream!  If you've been here keep them up high! 

If you haven't been to a show look around and memorize their faces, they may look harmless, but if you know what is good for you when this show is over you will run!!

Introducing Jesse.  If you've been to a show before you know who he is.  Very talented and was with us in 2004 when we were at the Oakdale Theater.

Talking about Angela and Quiana and where they are right now.

WORDS OF THE DAY

1. Crescendo - soft to loud (not as fun as Aspie's definition!)
2. Decrescendo - Loud to soft
3. Fermata - Held note
4. Sforzando - a sudden burst of sound on a chord
5. Tremolo- (tremble) a string player shakes their bow reeeeaaal fast on the string for effect such as in scary music.
another set of definitions:
a. A tremulous effect produced by rapid repetition of a single tone.
b. A similar effect produced by rapid alternation of two tones.
6. Pizzicato - I-talian (™CHA) term meaning "pinching". It is used for string instruments to indicate that the strings must be pinched instead of playing with the violin bow.
A tremolo performed on a piano would be 2 notes one octave apart played in rapid succession ie: low E high E low E high E...
7. Col legno "Playing with wood"!!! Bwah!!!
8. Ponticello - playing close to the bridge of a stringed instrument
9. Glissando - Rapid scale passage produced by sliding over keys or strings e.g. piano, harp, violin, trombone

He really drew out the "Oh baby that's a fact" tonight.  Very different.

This sounds so good tonight!  WOW!

He nailed it! 

Crowd is going crazy! 

Lots of changes in this tonight!  Very, very cool!

Did the end of the song with no mic again.  I LOVE that!!

Thought he would be back out fairly quickly for All Is Well, but it took a bit.

Very good beginning.  He swelled some of the notes which he hasn't done before.

This is another song you can just tell he loves.  He sings it with so much passion.

First glory note was hit very well with tons of power behind it!

Fantastic glory note to finish it off!  Sounded like he held it forever!

Another well done performance!!!

"ALL IS WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" Even holding that note out so long tonight! OH MY GOD!! And that's not even the glory note!!! "BORN IS NOWWWWWW EMMANUELLLLLLL, BORN IS OUR LORD, AND SAAAAAAVIORRRRR, SING ALLLEEEELLUUUIAAA SING ALLLELLLLUUUIAA ALLL IS WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" HE NAILD IT and nailed it GOOD!!

There is a time limit - - I'm flashing back to the Washington DC JNT last year, when they threw William Joseph outside without a coat I believe so as to close the venue by a certain time.  Brutal.

Ok, just hung up with Rainey. She made it.  :smile Sad that it was over. Another standing ovation and he hit the note.

They are going to try for the bus but she said it is underground so it doesn't look good. She said they may pop in when they get home.

I owe her big time. That was awesome. I felt like I was there. And since I can't go to a concert this year, that is the next best thing I have to it. I love you Lorraine.  :hugg

Thanks to Heather and Meesa for bringing over the cellcert. Thanks to Tiffany for her cellcert. I apologize for not addressing people individually. I was listening and trying to report.

Thea, I hope your day goes better tomorrow. I know you can get past the rough days. We are here for you.  :hugg I am in on the Raleigh trip.  :hugg

he was moving poinsettas around the speakers said he was going to rearrange...

he did not take off his jacket

all the tables had candle on the table...he wanted them to blow out the candles ...someone said take your jacket off...he said no...b/c then you will see how fat i am

-------- got lots of pictures of pants...very snug fitting...very flattering...and rings...

the best part...right before...MDYK...the stage was huge...he was really far some people....the other side was grousing b/c they didn't get him over to their stage....he said this show is about Jesus...show your selflessness....

the crowd loved him....

Intro Julie DeMato....he didn't know ....that she had been on stage...she said they have already saw her....he didn't get it...so he said what are you doing signing autographs...sit down this is my show

standing ovation ...DSCIFCD....

He couldn't talk a lot....time constraint at this venue...at one point he only had 15 minutes....he was a little rushed....b/c of the constraint....

ANGELA just called me!!!   :bouncy :bouncy :bouncy  I got to talk to ANGELA, Lorraine, Linda, Sasha, and Pam!!!  They were looking for the buses.  Tammy was up ahead somewhere so I didn't get to talk to her.

They all sounded GREAT!!!!!  Said Clay was JUST amazing.  It was wonderful to hear the excitement in their voices.   :bouncy

Lorraine said she didn't get Clay's attention.   :cry  Just the attention of two police officers.    :roflmao  She said someone had some binoculars that were all decorated and that caught Clay's attention.  People are getting very creative, it seems.  Whatever works.   :lol

It was Linda's friend, Joanne, that Clay talked to and sang to.  She had front row  seats, and had told Linda ahead of time that she would just die if Clay talked to her.   Well, he DID talk to her, that lucky girl, and she made it through just fine.   :wink  Sasha's hubby was not at the concert, but you guys are right, her hubby's name is Jim, also.

I'm sure they will have MUCH more to tell you when they get home or tomorrow.  They are driving home tonight. 

It was great to talk to them and feel the Clay enthusiasm again.  I have been listening and listening to his Christmas music since the concert, especially All is Well and Emmanuel, my two favs.  But I really love them all.   :bigsmile

did Clay really almost start to say the F-word? I was in and out of the cellcert thread so didn't hear all of the banter.


CH cellcerter and others at the concert said no he did not.

BF was incredible tonight. I love him so

All is Well note was perfect.  :thud

Tammy told me it wasn't Sasha that he sang too.

Clay looked over at their table a few times.

She'll call me later when they are at the buses. Can't wait to hear more of the hussies reports. They behaved.  :wink There is something good Tammy told me about Julia too when she saw Clay.

Clay sounded amazing tonight.  :thud

Thanks Meesa and Heather for the great updates and thanks for the pretty pics.

See you here Thursday.

Prayers are with ya Thea.  :hugg

I know what Julia told them too, but I will let the hussies tell you.  :smile

Us hussies met Julia last night and had our picture taken with her.  She said she had already seen Clay and that his hair was all wet because he had just gotten out of the shower.  Julia said he was still his goofy self and that she would be seeing him again after the concert.  By the way, Julia is beautiful.  Motherhood agrees with her! 

Clay didn't get miffed one minute of that concert.  There were two young girls (about 8 or 9) that were screeching over him and he said, "I wouldn't even admit to owning that."  He was laughing the whole time.  Different people were yelling out that they loved him and he just said, "Thank You with  big smile."  He also said, anyone else want to say that, so the whole crowd started saying it.   He was happy all night and just thrilled with the orchestra.

The night was awesome and it went to fast.   He was just amazing!  Voice soared with not one mistake or crack!

If there's any comment from the radio host who interviewed Clay a while back from Hartford who said he will be at the show please let us hear. I would like to know  how he enjoyed Clay's show. thanks for the news.

It's so nice to live vicariously through reading about the cellcerts!!  Sure makes me wish I was there.  I was able to go to both of the JNTs, but I'm not going to be able to go to this year's Christmas concerts.  It's good to hear he's interacting with the audience more this year.  I missed that in last year's JNT.  I wonder if he read other people commenting on that last year, and decided to talk with the audience more this year?  I can't wait to listen to some of the "clack" for this concert.  Have a wonderful evening everyone.

I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT MY CLAYING LAST NIGHT.

THE NIGHT STARTED OFF WITH US MEETING UP WITH OUR MA. HUSSIES AT THE MARRIOTT.  IT WAS JUST SO DARN GOOD TO SEE THEM.  I ALWAYS SAY IT IS THE QUALITY OF TIME AND NOT THE QUANTITY OF TIME AND THAT HOLDS TRUE FOR OUR MA. FRIENDS.  FROM THERE WE FOUND OUR WAY TO THE VENUE.  HOW COZY THE PLACE WAS AND WAS SURPRISED TO SEE HOW SMALL THE VENUE WAS BUT THAT WAS A GOOD THING. :bouncy :bouncy :bouncy :bouncy :bouncy

WE HAD SECOND ROW TABLES AND I PREPARED TO GET MY CELLPHONE AND BINOCULARS READY FOR MY CLAYING.  AFTER THE HARTFORD SYMPHONY PLAYED SOME SONGS THEY DECIDED TO BRING A FEW PEOPLE FROM THE AUDIENCE UP TO SING A FEW XMAS SONGS.  ONE OF THOSE WAS JULIA DEMATO.  SHE DID GET A GOOD APPLAUSE FROM THE AUDIENCE AND WHEN THEY FINISHED THE HUSSIES DECIDED TO GO UP AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH HER.  WE TOLD HER WHO WE WERE "CLAYMANIACS" AND HOW ONE OF MY MEMBERS "CINDY" HAD GIVEN HER A BABY GIFT FROM A LOT OF US.  I ASKED HER IF SHE SAW CLAY AND SHE SAID SHE HAD.  HE HAD JUST GOTTEN OUT OF THE SHOWER  :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud  AND HIS HAIR WAS ALL WET  :thud :thud :thud :thud :thud AND WAS AS GOOFY AS ALWAYS.  IT WAS NICE CHATTING WITH HER AND THAT SHE WAS GOING TO SEE HIM AFTER THE SHOW FOR A WHILE.  LUCKY GIRL.

FINALLY LIGHTS WENT DOWN AND THE REST OF THE NIGHT I SAT IN AWE OF THAT MAN.  EACH SONG, EACH MOVEMENT ALL I DID WAS STARE INTO MY BINOCULARS SO I DIDN'T MISS ONE MOVE.  HE CAPTURED MY FULL ATTENTION FROM THE TIME HE WALKED OUT ON STAGE UNTIL HE GAVE US THAT BIG WAVE GOODBYE.    :cry :cry :cry :cry  THAT IS WHEN I LOST IT.  HIS VOICE WAS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY SONG HE SANG HE DID IT FROM THE HEART.  BOY HAS OUR LITTLE BOY GROWN UP.  SURE HE LOOKED LIKE "TEACHER CLAY" LAST NIGHT BUT THERE ARE SO MAN MORE  SIDES OF HIM TO LOVE.   :love  I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW GOOD IT FELT SEEING HIM AFTER ALL OF THESE MONTHS.  IT WAS LIKE OUR HONEY HAD NEVER LEFT.  HE DID GET TWO STANDING OVATIONS AND IT WAS WELL DESERVED.  I THINK CT. GAVE HIM THE LOVE THAT HE SO DESERVED.  I TRIED EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO CATCH HIS EYE BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE BUT HELL IT WASN'T FOR LACK OF TRYING.  MAYBE I WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF WEARING THAT LEOPARD OUTFIT. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol  BUT KIDDING ASIDE I DIDN'T CARE.  HE FILLED MY HEART AND SOUL WITH WHAT I NEEDED AND I CAME AWAY THANKING THE GOOD LORD THAT HE PUT CLAY BACK WHERE HE BELONGED. 

WE LATER DID FIND WHERE THE BUSES WERE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT WASN'T MEANT TO BE EITHER.  THERE WAS A VERY SMALL GROUP WAITING FOR HIM WHICH WAS LOCATED IN A STRANGE AREA.  WE COULDN'T WAIT AS LONG AS WE WANTED TO SO I AM NOT SURE IF HE CAME OUT BUT WE DID SEE JEROME WALKING DURHAM AND RALEIGH.  I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAD TO LEAVE AND STILL DO NOT KNOW IF HE EVER SHOWED.  RUMOR HAD IT THAT HE WAS STAYING OVER THE NIGHT.

WELL NOW I SIT HERE LONGING FOR MORE.  JUST LIKE AN ADDICT I AM COMING DOWN OFF OF MY CLAYDRUG AND IT HURTS.  I KEEP LISTENING TO HIM SING "MERRY CHRISTMAS WITH LOVE", "ALL IS WELL" AND "A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS" TO FILL UP THE EMPTYNESS THAT I NOW FEEL.  BUT IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR ME TO GET BACK TO THE REAL WORLD BUT I DO KEEP IN THE BACK OF MY MIND THAT HE IS NOT GONE FOR GOOD AND WILL BE BACK SOON.  REAL SOON I HOPE.

SO IF YOU ARE LURKING CLAY, I LOVE YOU MORE TODAY THAN I DID YESTERDAY AND TWICE AS MUCH TOMORROW.

Great post Lorraine.  Your review made me realize more than ever how much I have missed Clay this year.  I can't wait until it's my turn next Saturday.  I just know I will be as awe struck as you were and I'm really looking forward to it.

Thanks for your view of the show.

I felt exactly the same way after Clay's concert when I saw him before. It was joyous while it was happening but what a let down after.  Lorraine I sympathize with you but youre still lucky you were there. Thanks for a nice recap.

Lorraine - you are not silly - Clay is so much more than just a singer! I wish that all of us could be seeing him this Christmas - thank God the Clay Nation is filled with talented, caring people who love to share Clack!  :clap :clap
