Tracy still Loves Ray

Tracy still Loves Ray

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Some years ago, I wrote a song about some grafitti I saw on a highway in Ohio. I told the story of Tracy and Ray, two people who were separated by a job in California. I never really explained how they met, what Tracy was doing in California or how they got back together. Now the author, Theresa Child, has answered my questions in her new book, "Tracy Loves Ray". The story gives life to people I never thought of and turns my sketch into a beautiful picture.

Thanks, Theresa!

Christmas!

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Hi,

I've had the pleasure of working with Rosa Colucci on her new Christmas CD. The recording was just finished and will be released soon. The album has some wonderfully different interpretations of standard carols, etc, as well as a great original song for the title track, The Gift. Rosa will be doing some live shows to promote the CD and I'll be part of a great band backing her up. Check the calendar section for all the dates.
I have just about finished some material for a new CD myself. Those of you who know me are aware that it takes me a while to go from conception to finished product but maybe by spring....

I hope everything is swell with you all and please keep writing. I'll see you soon.

New Dates

Sun, 04 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Well, hi!

We haven't talked lately, have we? I'm coming out of the hibernation I went into after the CLO show last year and I've posted a few dates on the calendar. Though it's a little late for resolutions, I'll try to keep the site up to date and let you know what's happening. I've been in the studio working on a new project. As usual, I have 12 or so songs in various states of completion and I'll finish them all at the same time.
So leave a note in the guestbook or write to jat@jayhitt.com. when you have a chance and we'll stay up to date. Thanks to all of you who have written to say you missed my playing and I'll see you soon.
