Songography, every song Clay ever sang Options

[jmh123]

CAP121 and I started this list together, posting mine at the Clackhouse and hers at Clayversity. Hers was done in the form of a spreadsheet; mine took a different form. I stopped in 2007, and much has happened since then. Maybe we can bring it up-to-date, and the spreadsheet that someone (or ones) might be working on could be posted here as well when that is completed.

So, the 2007 version:

This is not intended to be a list of all Clay's appearances, but a chronological list of "Every Song Clay Ever Sang" for which we have clack (and a few "lost" items). It includes every unique performance--i.e., the first or only time a song was performed in concert, or for television or radio. When there is one unique performance of a song, I have included the rest of the songs he performed at that event for context. If he performed somewhere (other than a tour) and did not perform a new song, I have not included those performances. This isn't intended to be a list of all his performances, but of every song he ever sang that we know of, chronologically, with context. I have also included all the songs sung on tour and all commercial recordings just because. Additions and corrections are very welcome.
