In case Clay reads this Blog...
Dear Clay,
I am sure your efforts to make a quality album will be well worth the wait.
I just recently found sound files of your Demos and truly love the way you sang/sound on "I Know How the River Feels" and "Love of My Life" -- I know the new albums will primarily be original compositions, but these two may be worth considering for an upcoming release.
Your work with TBAF, UNICEF, RMcDH, etc., is really quite inspiring... I have a co-worker who wasn't really into you (your popularity from AI). I showed her an article or two of your humanitarian efforts and she now says she sees you in a different light. She says she may even get your albums!
From the first time I heard you sing (on AI) I felt you were special... You have been a breath of fresh air to an otherwise stagnant music industry filled with lewd, suggestive junk... Thank you for not letting "them" change who you are... I sincerely hope you are able to stay true to yourself, no matter what comes your way.
Thank you for all you do, unconditionally, for others... you truly are a Godsend!
Be safe, be healthy, be happy, but most of all - BE YOU!
Take care & God Bless,
Mrs. DM
Live & Learn -- at least LIVE ! :-)
