Jay Hollis goes R & B!

I went to Dallas/Fort Worth last Sunday to help Jai, my manager, shoot a music video for another artist. Her name is Christy B and she has a great R & B song that she did a video on. It was a great experience for me to be a part of another video from the other side of it. Jai did a great job on it as expected. I look for this video to be another great one. Shooting videos will drain you mentally and physically. They are very costly so there is no time to relax and take your time and it takes a team of people working together to make these things happen. I would like to thank Jai for making me a part of that team. It was an awesome experience that will only help me with my own career down the line.

The crazy part happened when Jai told me I had to be in a couple of scenes. That's right. Jay Hollis made an apearance in a R & B music video! I don't know if anything I was in will make the final edit or not, but I have to say it was very funny. I think I probably stuck out like a sore thumb. I was the only white person in the video. Not only that, I was dancing to the music with other actors in the video and I was the only one that has no good moves. I hope they will forgive me for that. It was a suprise to me too. Anyway, everyone was great to be around that day and they had a good time with me during those scenes. Thanks to everybody involved for making me as comfortable as possible. Keep an eye out for that one!

Hello Again!

Wow! It has been a while since I have blogged. I'm not sure if that is even a word but I'll use it anyway. I have been so busy lately. Christmas is closing in on us so I have been preparing for that. I am usually a last minute guy when it comes to Christmas, but this year has been different. For those of you beating your heads against the wall trying to think of what to get me, just give me a lot of money and I'll live with that. Ha Ha! I just thought I would try that and see if it works.

I played last Saturday night in Nocona, TX for a private Christmas party and boy did we have a blast. I want to thank the good people who hired us for that event. It has been a few weeks since I have played and it really felt good to get it going again. I have been sick for about three weeks but I'm feeling good now. Singing seems to help the healing process.

I have some really cool shows coming up in the early part of 2009. I will keep you informed and I look forward to seeing you at the shows. It looks like 2009 is going to be an awesome year for me!
