I can so relate to this!! I went to see Jackson Brown and fell asleep at his concert. This is someone whose music I love, but he was so boring! He just sat on a stool and sang - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
On the flip side, I went to see Carole King and, while I love her music, I was very concerned about it - just figured she'd sit at the piano and sing. WRONG!! She was funny and charming and wonderful in concert.
The first time I had the opportunity to see Clay (other than AI2 tour) was at JNaT - Merrillville 2006 (can I pick them or WHAT!?!). He just walked on the stage and I was mesmerized (we won't go into graphic detail). He sang and I was mesmerized. He opened his mouth and started talking and I was in love all over again. Funny, charming, handsome and a voice like no other. I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED A TOUR!!!
