I want to take a moment and let you know some of the inside workings at CANN.  As many of you know we recently changed servers.  There were internal problems and our resident computer expert thought we might be happier making a change.

There are many things that are going well.  Things seem to run more smoothly and we are “almost” happy.

But, whenever you make a big change there are little things that catch up with you.  Unfortunately, we have had two “blackouts.”  With no warning, CANN has been down.  Fortunately, our “techie” attacks the problem and it is fixed rather quickly.  We are working hard to make sure this doesn’t happen again.  However, if it does, I hope you will try to visit again.  We are here to stay!!

Another unfortunate problem that came from changing servers is that I lost my entire administrative e-mail account.  I have lost all contact with all the people that have contacted me.  I feel horrible as I owe some pictures and information to people and I don’t have their e-mail.  If you are one of those people or someone who would like to request something, please e-mail me again.  The account is ready and waiting for your message. You can e-mail me at  musicfan@claynewsnetwork.com

One of the things that I am most proud about CANN is that we try to keep to the facts.  We go out of our way to verify that everything that we post is correct.  On Wednesday, a poster came on the ClayBoard and reported that Clay was scheduled for a TV appearance in July.  As exciting as this would be, I cannot post this as news.  First, this was a new member of the board and no source of the information was given, even after many requests.  Secondly, Clay’s name is not listed on the website for the program. And, finally, we have no confirmation from Team Clay.  I always remember that Clay has told us more than once that we should not believe everything we read unless we hear it from him or his team.

I am hoping that when I wake up in the morning I will be re-writing this blog to pass along the confirmed appearance.  I even hope so much that I requested 2 tickets for the show.  However, at this time, all I will say is:  “ I miss Clay and can’t wait to see him on TV soon.”

Finally, a bit of interesting Broadway news…

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING is going on a two-day hiatus today, July 7 and Friday, July 8.  This is to accommodate Daniel Radcliffe‘s previously scheduled Harry Potter promotional obligations in the UK. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 premieres in Trafalgar Square in London on July 7.

According to HollywoodNews.com  Warner Brothers had to buy out two nights of shows so Radcliffe could join in the London festivities.

It is amazing that the show would rather cancel the shows than put in an understudy for Daniel.  Does that mean that the main purpose of people coming to the show is to see Daniel?  If so, it shows that he is a huge Broadway star!

If you could, would you go see Daniel Radcliffe on Broadway?
