Hall of Fame Inductee Clay "The Cooker" Collins Celebration Party!


I always take pictures of cakes and never use them!

We Thank You For Listening
All These Years - Clay Collins

You can catch Clay's "Jazzsistically Speaking" radio program every Sunday on 106.5FM from 2 to 7 pm.

     Clay told me that this induction event was probably the biggest ceremony that would happen to him next to his funeral, and since he wouldn't be around to enjoy that, he decided to have a party.  And a party it was, it was held in the beautiful Ware Banquette Center complete with drink and food.  On top of that they brought the Grammy nominated jazz vocalist Betty Joplin along with her great back-up group from Detroit.  Rosemary and I enjoyed the party so much and wish to thank Clay and Debra for inviting us to share in a wonderful moment in their life. - Ron Gable
