Second Life
Clayton had a lot of fun playing SL Woodstock on 17th August.
Although the time was 7pm in Second Life, it was actually 3am in real life! So there was a LOT of coffee on the go. This didn't stop us from having a fantastic time though. We were so impressed with those of you that stayed awake to come and support us.
The early morning partying didn't stop the audience from having fun, wearing party hats and waving sparklers provided by Mazzie in honour of Ricks birthday! With only the occasional cry of 'Anyone got any ProPlus?' from Ian! LOL!
Road To Elmersville
We have got together with Karen Swanson to create a MySpace page dedicated to the Elmer family, their history and the story of Elmersville.
The CD is still for sale from the Clayton website with proceeds going to the Salvation Army. You can read about why the Salvation Army was chosen on the Elmersville page.
Because this CD was made under the name Callaghan we are continuing to sell it under that name while stocks last. We feel a strong commitment to the Elmer family and to the Salvation Army and feel it would not be in their best interest to discontinue sales of Elmersville.
Please note that the vocal performance on the songs of this CD are by Georgina Callaghan
Lindsay Armaou - (vocals/co-writer)
Rick Mitra - (bass/co-writer/producer) Lulu, Marti Pellow
John Peppard - (guitars/co-writer) Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood
Geoff Dunn - (drums/co-writer) Van Morrison, Incognito
Leon Spicer - (violin)
Charles Bowyer - (backing vocals/guitar)

hey everyone! just stopping by to say hi and let you know how much my non-myspace friends are enjoying the new song, pretty tough! i wonder if michelle got to hear it yet. she's much prettier than tom--so sad for him, losing his top friends spot, haha. he's probably playing pretty tough on his profile page now just to get back in your good graces.
hey i actually have a myspace friend who OWNED a pair of jimmy choos! wow! i must be a real redneck--i had not heard of them. when i googled it, i was amazed! i would certainly take mine, too! haha. for now, i'll take my clayton music!
Okie, I feel bad now. I've listened to the song i don't know how many times, and yet, I have failed to comment on it. I am sorry. Karen has even, quite a few times asked me to comment on it, and I haven't done it *hangs head in shame*. Well, I will now. It's another AWESOME song. I love this one as well :)
wow! tom lost his top friends spot all together! that'll show him, he needs to change his default pic. michelle makes a fine top friend! she's so much prettier than tom was.
i know tom was a huge fan, but i think he plays weird music on his profile. it's not clayton!
Hi Clayton Its so cool that the new song is up. The sad thing is my speakers arent working at the moment im getting them fixed tomorrow so i have to wait till tomorrow to hear it. :( Also i just noticed i made it into your top friends thank you.
wow.. i got to know your new music such as pretty tough..from karen.. she is very kind...she well let me know you.... so.. pretty tough seem make me comfotable as if i tried to taste a delicious jelly...
oh, funny, i just realized that i commented earlier on tom moving up in top friends and taking my spot, but i was writing from the elmersville page, not my own, hahahaha! oops.
just like i am now.
anyway, just stopped by to hear the new song a few more times! loving it!
I was totally thinking Sheryl Crow!!! I think it's the acoustic rock sound with the synth organ and a touch of...speak-singing(?). You know, when the singer sort of talks but is still singing? You can't help but bop along!
This is too cool, i LOVE the new song, Pretty Tough! It was well worth the wait. Great melody, very uplifting, and Lindsay's singing is awesome! She sounds a bit like Sheryl Crow, with a hint of Coby Callait (?spelling) and even a Shania Twain twist to it.
But it's all Clayton and congrats to you for a new and different and fun release!
Wow. Yet another side of Lindsay comes out on "Pretty Tough". I've never heard her sound like Sheryl Crow before - amazing. I'll need to hang onto that one for another show. You guys are putting together some very interesting and wonderful music for your next album. Bravo!
The opening lyric is spot on for me.... I always have a copy of the Metro on way to work and a certain brand of coffee !! At first I thought you had written a song abut me, haha !!! :0)
geez, tom actually moved UP in top friends! i hope he doesn't take my spot, hehe. i know you guys are great friends and all, but i listen to your music more than he does. i bet.
wow... just listened to 'it was meant to be' and im halfway through listening to 'free'... It's beautiful, and I know i said that about some other songs previously but i have seriously fallen in love with your music, Clayton, you're amazing!!! love always, Katie x
