LADIES--

I read here every day.  I just feel lost as far as Clay is concerned.  Faye and Micki posted clack from Elvis JBT on fb and I got so upset.  It never bothered me until this summer but I am angry.  HE LET IT GO.  SO MUCH TALENT AND HE CHANGED STYLE MIDSTREAM AND LET IT ALL GO.  CHARISMA TO BEAT THE BAND.  A VOICE LIKE NO OTHER.  SMARTS.  SARCASM.  AND HE STOPPED TRYING.

LOOK AT HOW MUCH EFFORT HE IS PUTTING INTO THE CAMPAIGN.  I HAVE GOTTEN MORE STUFF FROM HIM AND ABOUT HIM THAN I EVER DID.   It just feels not fair.

Those feelings I got from that clack cannot be denied.  But if I think about him, it just makes me sad.  So I try not to.

It isn't you girls.  At all.  I think of you all a lot.  Don't forget that.

HIS VOICE WRAPS AROUND MY HEART.
KEEPER OF CLAY'S CHARM

   Barbara, I'm all for that group hug! We are a wonderful group of ladies and we have all been through alot,

   being true fans of Clay.

   I have said it before, Clay has a son and has to make a living. He is young and there is no doubt in my mind that we will all be buying tickets to see him again on Broadway. Let him pursue other things,he is smart and talented and a great person. He is keeping his name out there!

I don't think personally that Clay has let it go entirely. But lets face it, the CD sales were down, the tours were getting less attended, and it was further between any appearances. There was the man cave for endless lengths of time.

Clay wants to make a difference- he wants to be able to know that he tried to represent the people in the state he loves, in the area he loves- HIS people. He passionately wants this- and I don't think it is something new to him. He has ALWAYS wanted to make differences in peoples lives, whether young or old, kids with disabilities or older folks, and veterans, wanting to be heard and supported.

This is as much of Clay's being as his fabulous voice, his charisma, his personality, and his HEART!!

Of course I miss the singing- that is why I will NOT miss the Gala this year. He IS going to sing- with a band, and that makes me sure it will be more than one or two songs.  I think he STILL loves singing, but it is not foremost in his life right now.

I admire him, I love all the pictures, selfies, and anecdotes of Clay being out and about with his people, meeting them, sharing his ideas and his resolve. If he doesn't win in November, no one, NO ONE, can say he did not give his all for this. He has worked damned hard, and we have been with him every step of the way. We have seen more pictures of him in the last few months than in the last few years, and he is positively GLOWING with happiness. I cannot be selfish- if this is what he wants, then so be it!!

I have been asked to be part of the phone bank for Clay, and since I cannot pledge a lot of money, nor can I vote for him, I will do my very best to assist him in this way, because I BELIEVE in him.  If you miss him and want to help him- think of how much it would mean to him if you would do something like this.

He is a very very special man, and I agree with Gwenn that I miss his voice and charisma-but I will still support him as best I can. I do NOT think he threw it away at all. I think he changed directions for the reasons I listed above.  And I will sure be here when he wants to sing again.
ALWAYS AND FOREVER-UNCONDITIONALLY!!!

Well said Marilyn! And remember we came for the voice and stayed for The Man!  ;D I do miss him singing and touring but I am not really sad about him not doing it right now. I have been enjoying what he is doing, the pics and people who meet him for the 1st time that are impressed by him! He is getting good press too! He will be on one of the Men's mags soon! Also what is important to me is that he is still out there to be seen and not in hiding! Always Supporting him in everything he wants to do! This year is 10 years for me being a fan! My feelings haven't changed for him at all!

I really wish I could go to the Gala and The bowling fundraiser but can't afford it!  :( I have a good feeling it will be special! You all are very lucky that you can go to these things! I know you all will have a blast and cherish these moments! Wish I could at least see you guys! Someday again!

Sorry I don't post much but I will always be here!  Miss you all too and respect all opinions!

Wow! I know how to kill a thread! Hope everyone else we didn''t hear from are ok! Want to share that I had a dream I went to the Gala at this hotel with a theater. Clay wore some JBT clothes like the leather jacket and the orange shirt. Then the next day we were treated to him recording a Christmas show for radio. Would had been good for TV too. He even worse a long green dress and I thought he surprisingly looked good! Lol He sang some songs, did some magic tricks, came down to talk to the fans in the audience. He was so snarky and really funny! Talked deep to with his mic. Lol It was a wonderful show! Now I wish he could do at least one more concert for all of us!

Hey Tiffany- holding your own on the thread I see!!

Where on earth IS everyone?? Marlene usually posts once a day. Hope she is all right.

So tired this week- I have been getting only 4-4 1/2 hours sleep!! Working on a stressful project at work.

But- on my way home I always listen to Clay music and it relaxes me and makes me happy!

Looking forward to seeing him in two weeks!!
ALWAYS AND FOREVER-UNCONDITIONALLY!!!

Gwenn, I'm sorry that the clack I posted on Facebook made you sad.  However, I can appreciate how you feel. I miss the good old days so much!  I can't afford to go to any fundraisers.  And honestly, unless he's singing, I don't want to go.  I know that makes me sound like a horrible person, but I came for the voice.  I wish him well in November.  I believe he'll make a great representative for NC. 

I miss you all, and think about you often. We certainly had one he'll of a ride, didn't we?

I made it home safely and had a great time at the OBX.  Had not seen my family for a while and we all had a good time.  Now I have got to unpack, wash clothes, etc. and get ready to go back to work tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing some of you in a couple of weeks.
