Great blog today. It was lots of fun. I love Clay but I miss his voice.
Thanks for the fun today.
Can’t believe I hadn’t declared what fun the Footloose video was. One of my most favorite Clay performances. I wonder if he can still do the wonderful dance & bodymoves. ❤️ UNCONDITIONAL love for you Clay.
