Just like us, he''s there, he's ready and waiting! Ooooh, I can't wait to find out what exciting news we'll get in the not too distant future.

I still believe that "hot July" rumour - I just believe that something really exciting has held it up until those details are finalized and we will all be so happy and so proud of our guy when the official launch begins.

I still look at that clip from AI5 and I'm continually blown away by how Clay has grown and matured these past three years. All that touring has created a seasoned professional who commands the stage like few others.

Last night was just so much fun! Santeyamor - could we have had a more gracious and sweet winner?? I doubt it. What a wonderful gift she shared with all of us! I would be in the same Clay fog she experienced if I had the opportunity to talk with "THE MAN", himself, for twenty minutes! Ooooo-EEEEE!! How lucky! And she told him we would want a blog - how cute - so we got one.

Now, Clay - one question - Why are you not listening to your new CD??? I'd have it on constant repeat if I had it in my hot little hands. Have you just listened to so much music over the last few months that you've gone cuckoo???

The contest was a stroke of brilliance - we've had a blast with all the guessing and laughter - thank you for that. Just silence would have been more than most of us could take and I know you'll be out there and "seeing" us .........pretty quickly!

What a wonderful ride this is and I truly believe the best is yet to come.

Edited to add: Per my previous blog - I am so outed!!!!
