Carolina Clay

Exciting times are here again! The new Carolina On My Mind blog includes information on CD release party planning, the Larry King Live appearance, and Timeless Ticket tour sales for Friday and next week. Featured are the "2010" montage by gerwhisp with graphics by AmazingCA and Fountaindawg. Thank you for your visits/comments/retweets/reposts/etc. They all help spread the word about Clay. Grandchildren Report: Lia had her first taste of French fries today. I think she likes them because she ate Kai's box of fries while he spent his McDonalds time playing. He was a mite upset, to say the least! Perhaps we are going through "the change" at the OFC. Happy "early" TGIF! Caro

The new Carolina On My Mind blog is all about puzzles as we unravel the jigsaws RE Clay's upcoming CD, summer tour, and PBS Special. The National Inclusion Project (Dancing Like the Stars and Our Friend Mikayla; a Spring Recital update; plus graphics by AmazingCA, Fountaindawg, and LovesClaysVoice are featured. Clickable by AmazingCA Love your comment, tree. The more I look at Anoop's suit, the more I think you might be right. Thank you for your comments/visits, all. keeping... that was sooo much fun to see that comparison. Boy has he growed up good!!!!!!! DITTO! He proved that in "Spamalot." Have a great week, all! Caro

Glad I could bring something NEW! Did you check the others, Cindy? Caro

Love the Star Magazine photo of Clay and Ruben, which I added to the Carolina On My Mind this morning. Thnx to all who have dropped by. Double Clickable I was all ready to wish our newest dogwalker a Happy Birthday, but then I noticed the CV member celebrating has an extra "s" in her screen name, Claysgalsal. If you are one in the same, hope you have a very special day, claygalsal! :thbighug-1: Have y'all seen the additional concert pix at AP Images? There are several with an AP watermark. Un-edited, here is one that escaped the water mark: Have a great day, all! Caro

The new Carolina On My Mind blog references the Sunday (4/18) Washington Post article on nine American Idol seasons, of which the AI2 and AI5 Finales were the most viewed. SueReu's montage 'Best Season Ever' ties in the Clay-Ruben Finale, and a video of Clay's surprise performance of DLTSGDOM recaps the AI5 Finale water cooler moment. Information about next week's tour venues starting to sell tickets is also included. Hope you enjoy. Thank you for your comments, which really help the Internet Clay blogs with Google placement. Real life has kept me off the boards for three days, and I am in the midst of arranging fiddle tunes for my violinists. At least twice, I set up multiple quotes to post at FCA, only to back out due to my schedule. I have really enjoyed catching up today. WORD, Fear ! Claysgalsal! As keepingfaith said, have fun walking Raleigh and Durham! All of us started by "walking the dog." Just picturing all this makes me laugh, wanda! Have a great weekend, FCA! Caro

Thnx for stopping by, cindilu2. Since I was here, I discovered that Fountaindawg made the perfect graphic for this Timeless ticket blog. I must have closed her P/B account just before she uploaded it. Anyway, I have added the regular and widescreen clickables of this to Carolina On My Mind: Clickable by Fountaindawg Thnx for the PBS info, bottle. Have a great week, all! Caro

The new Carolina On My Mind blog includes info about the week's seven "live" tour ticket sale venues, a special Dancing With the Stars/Clay Aiken montage by LovesClaysVoice, TNT CD/DVD set list talk with art by Fountaindawg and cindilu2. I can tell from the feed there have been lots of hits and RIGHT CLICKING of graphics in the two hours the blog has been up, but no one is stopping to comment. Unfortunately, comments are what count the most and help keep the positive news about Clay at the top of the Google heap. Many thnx to those who understand. Er um, everyone must have gorgeous weather on this Sunday afternoon. LOL, maybe I need to get a life. Sending healing thoughts to Reed. Have a great new week, all! Caro

I went from teaching fiddles to writing a new Carolina blog -- Clay Aiken's TNT Promo Takes Off -- featuring today's TNT/Decca developments, tour info/links, the National Inclusion tweets, and a special musical recollection from the F-5 Lubbock Tornado. It makes sense when you read the context. You know most everything in the entry, but your visits and comments help with the Google placement of the Internet Clay blogs. I included cover art as edited by cindilu2, MakeNice, Kareneh, and Cotton. Many thnx for these! :clap: Looking forward to reading your entry, Kareneh! Congrats on the bike! Love the typo in the post about the CANN entry! Musicfan will probably laugh about it, too. Have a wonderful weekend! Caro

Many thnx, cindilu2! Caro

Thank you, tree. Loving all the fandom's excitement! Caro

The Timeless Tour's "ticketmaster tango" is on the move with five of 17 concert sites open for business this week. The new Carolina On My Mind blog features a new montage by LovesClaysVoice: "Clay and Ruben Together Again!"; graphics by Fountaindawg; and PermaSwooned's very special post about Decca unleashing Clay. LOL, you may recognize some of the dialogue, which came from three boards. The 145th country -- Angola -- visited the Carolina site earlier today. Thank you for your comments and visits. Hope you enjoy. Many thnx to those who stopped by the Easter entry to see and read about Kai and Lia, my growing grandchildren -- among other topics. Have an awesome week, all! Caro

I'm watching basketball, but I had to stop and say back, deyabird! Look forward to reading your posts. As others have posted, this is a stress-free board that keeps up with the latest Clay news. I taught a full afternoon of music lessons for the first time since March 26. Everyone seemed excited to be back. One of my pianists received an iTouch for his birthday, and he used it to email me about a makeup lesson. Another lives in a neighborhood hit hard by this area's Palm Sunday tornado. He and I, a former Texan, exchanged a couple of "war" stories at the start of his lesson. Tonight I sent him the link to a Carolina blog I wrote about the F-5 Lubbock Tornado, which I survived in a mobile home. My husband, then a student at Texas Tech, was working part-time as the maitre d' at the Lubbock Club atop a 13-story building, the tallest in the city. This is an interesting little twist from that night: That fake book is still in my music library. Have a great evening, all! Caro

Happy Easter Sunday, FCA! Thnx to those who have visited the new Carolina On My Mind blog. I posted a blurb about the celebration of Easter, Spring rebirth, seasonal photographs by Sally, Clay Aiken graphics from Easters past, the latest on Kai and Lia, etc., in the wee hours. Again, many thnx who have stopped by. I notice lots of people saving the older CA Easter graphics. Happy Birthday to Aspiegirl! Wishing you and yours a very special day! Caro

Happy Easter! It's Easter Sunday on the East Coast, and I just uploaded a new Carolina On My Mind blog that contains a little history about Easter resurrection and Spring renewal, as well as seasonal photography (by Sally btw), graphics of Clay, and pix of grandkids Kai and Lia. Hope you enjoy! Wishing you and yours a very special day! Caro

I called my friend Sally, an excellent photographer and graphic artist, and gave her an overview of the board discussions. I'm sure cindilu2 will agree that Sally's lessons in graphic art have influenced many in the CA fandom. Here is what she said: wandacleo, love your post! Caro

Checking in from the final weekend of college basketball ... and the continuing journey with Clay Aiken! So excited about the tour!!!! duckyvee and I will be going to Reno (across the country) and also Lancaster, PA...15 minutes from my home!) Looking forward to seeing many of you at all the concerts. For those who can remember, did they show the OMWH album art before they had the tracklist on Amazon? I am having fun checking the rankings again. Ealier in the week it was in the #800's. It was as high as #75 yesterday. The tour announcement on AI contributed to the increase (pretty good as Clay didn't sing) but I think the addition of the album art was responsible for the increase increase in rank. Cagney, what awesome posts here and at the OFC! I understand Clay has been signing on over there. Hope he saw it! :clap: LOL, cindilu2, we have a mutual artistic friend who had x-rated dreams last night after viewing your high resolution version. WORD, aikim! Think I'll see what the high-rez version looks like on my laptop. Have a great day, all! Caro

Thank goodness I'm on Spring Break. I usually blog every three days, but the tour news was too good to wait. This summer's 17-city, three-week "Timeless Tour" by Clay and Ruben is the focus at Carolina On My Mind ... plus media buzz abounds! Tour dates, Clay-Ruben wallpapers by Fountaindawg, video of Ruben's tour plug on AI9, and links to several sites promoting the reunion are featured. Clay Cyberspace is definitely in mode! Thnx for your visits, comments, tweets, retweets, etc. Have an awesome weekend, all! Caro

The new Carolina On My Mind blog is a collection of mock TNT cover designs by Clay's fans. I hope you enjoy; and if you have created one, send me the link or directions where it is posted. There is no problem adding more, a fun pastime while we count down to June 1. Thank you for your visits/comments/tweets/retweets/reposts/etc. in the Internet Clay blogs. Have a great week, all! Caro

LOL, keeping up with NCAA basketball and organizing a blog at the same time is not easy. I did that throughout most of the first game, so there is a new Carolina On My Mind entry that features the "Examiner" article with extra photos gathered from the story's numerous links. Hope you enjoy. Thnx for your visits, comments, tweets, retweets, support! Congratulations to the Final Four teams (in no particular order): West Virginia, Duke, Butler, and Michigan State! We are on the edge of a tornado, so I should think about signing off. Have a great evening new week, all! Caro

Definitely virus! I don't know if it is related, but I know the folks on the Clay Aiken Hub Yahoo mailing list were getting e-mails like that, because a couple of the folks on the list had gotten infected and the virus was sending out e-mails to all the people in their address books. I received several, but they had the [Hub] tag which made it easier for me to notice them, and I just deleted them. I always delete e-mail that just has a link, but could be fooled if it came from someone I know well and regularly correspond with. Luckily, that hasn't happened so far. Thanks for the warning to be on the lookout. Sally sent the following warning to people on her email list. I don't know if this is what you are talking about or not. Besides what she wrote above, she reported the email as spam. I hate this part of the Internet. Thnx, tree. Still enjoying basketball -- sometimes one game on TV and one on my computer. Have a great weekend! Caro

Sounds good to me, 001see! Dy-no-mite!!! Caro
