Hello from the exciting city of New York.  This Californian is certainly enjoying the city.

I am still in awe of Clay Aiken’s performance Sunday at the Home For The Holidays Concert.  No one sings My Grown Up Christmas List like Clay.  It was almost prayer-like and everyone seemed to stop and listen to every word.  And, another “shout-out” to Ben Cohn.  His arrangement of this song was amazing.  I am so glad that Ben and Clay work so well together.

I am so glad that there are at least 3 different videos of Sunday’s performance.  I know many of you have already seen this You-Tube, but I thought I should post it here too.  It is always fun to watch Clay performances and so, just stop and and watch again.

The following pictures are a few that I have taken while walking around New York.  I love my new iPhone, even if I can’t crop or edit until I get home.

I tried to take some pictures of places that have been mentioned recently.  It seems they were a part of Clay’s project in New York.

Trump Tower

Columbus Circle

Is this the right location?

What Year Did Clay Sing Here?

Are you counting the days until the Gala?  We have so much to look forward to.
