From the desk of Tracy Ready:
Sitting here, I am thinking of the all the great music Clay Meyers has put his infectious, straight in the pocket groove to. I can’t help but tap my foot. You see, Clay has been my friend, my brother and rhythmic rock for more than 25 years. We were all going to be rock stars then, playing bombastic “in your face” music. Somehow we grew up and out. Along the way, Clay has never stopped the groove – drums and production for a multitude of acts, of every genre. His talent and natural feel for the music are one of a kind. I am sure those of you who are reading this have your own stories, memories with Clay. He has touched the lives and of so many musicians in a lifetime of music that it is mind boggling.
Now my friend needs our help. The drumming has taken its toll on Clay’s shoulder. Medically speaking, he has developed a bone spur which is threatening to rip his rotator cuff if he does not have a major surgery, soon. Musically speaking, the groove that we have all known and loved has had to be put on “pause” and that’s a damn shame in my book. Making a living as a musician is a tough road, and Clay, like many others, has no health insurance to cover this.
Our friends, Barbara and Steve, at Casbeer's in San Antonio are planning a benefit for Clay, to show our support and to help raise a few funds to help pay for the surgery, so the groove can continue. We need your help. Please join us April 27 for an incredible night of music for one hell of a musician, who has put his heart and soul into the music his entire life. I urge you, as friends and fellow musicians, to come out and support Clay, or send your donations to Casbeer's, marked for Clay’s benefit. There will also be a silent auction if you would like to donate an item for it.
A musical lineup is being developed as this goes out. Look for further updates, coming soon. If you are interested in performing please contact Casbeer's.
Details will also be available at www.casbeers.com and also at www.claymeyers.com.
