Hi gang.  I just caught up. So glad that Clay is feeling much better and it sounds like he put on a great show even with the time limit.  Can't wait to see the pics and clack from tonight. The outfit (black pants, shirt, white tie and no jacket) 

[sjlogghe]

You're welcome everyone!

My first - and probably last - cellcert for the tour.  Usually I don't like cellcerts, but when you're actually hearing him it's pretty fun!! 

Thank you to Debi, who was the one who made the call to our "host", Dee.  Debi, you are the greatest!!!

Debi lost her voice tonight - after the show, someone else had to talk in the phone for her!  So the Mafia was definitely doing their fair share of screaming!! 

Can't WAIT to see the vids, and see what he had everyone in stitches over!!

Clay came out to shake hands at the bus -- Jerome's kids are with Jerome -- lots of gifts by the bus from the crowd -- he must be feeling good to walk the line again--



POOR CLAY WAS SICK FOR OUR CONCERT- SO NO HANDSHAKE <sniff>
I WANTED TO TELL HIM I WILL GIDDYUP FOR HIM ANYTIME


WHAT?

I bet there are plenty of women who would be willing to help him.

I love the version of OCOCE by SC Chapman, but I actually would love to hear Clay professionally record the traditional version (the one in the minor key).  It is one of my favorite Christmas songs...

I tend to favor that one over this newer version too, Thea.

WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER HE DID DO AN OLDER VERSION. ITS CLACK SOMEWHERE

EMMANUEL - Younger Clay

The first part of the song is a capella, the second part is with some background music - but it's very soft and you can clearly hear Clay.  It's from 1999, seems so long ago - but it is still just as beautiful as ever!!  It still amazes me that he has never had formal lessons.  His voice sounds so trained, he has such control, such power.  And the emotion he puts into every song - you can just feel what he is feeling.  Amazing.  Even songs like this from 7 years ago make me weak at the knees!!

SO GLAD TO HEAR CLAY WENT OUT TO SHAKE HANDS AT THE BUSES.  WE GOT THE SICK CLAY HERE IN CT. AND NO SHAKING OF HANDS EITHER BUT I AM SO HAPPY HE IS FEELING BETTER.

I AM BEYOND THRILLED THAT CLAY IS FEELING BETTER.  AND HOW CONSIDERATE TO BLOG.  ADD THAT TO THE LIST OF WHY WE LOVE HIM.

UNION SHMUNION.  I HAVE BEEN A UNION MEMBER FOR 36 YEARS.  BUT I ALWAYS CAME TO WORK EARLY AND OFTEN STAYED LATE.  IT IS CALLED BEING A PROFESSIONAL.

I MISS HIM SO.  AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN 3 DAYS.

SORRY HE HASN'T SCORED.

GWENN - I HEAR YOU.  IT IS A WEEK AGO TODAY THAT I SAW CLAY AND IT FEELS LIKE YEARS.  SURE HOPE THAT TOUR STARTS EARLY NEXT YEAR.  I DON'T KNOW IF MY HEART CAN TAKE IT.

Clay looks great in the Detroit pictures!  I thought I read he had NO stubble.......well, I sure see stubble.  Not like Red Bank, but it's there.  

Love the outfit.....would love to see more of the "pants of perfection". 

I'm so glad he's feeling better.  Maybe now he'll score.
