    Intro by: Gail Nobles

    Eric B. Turner, who’s got a soulful tune that’s hitting all the right notes and taking us back to those sweet days of love! You know what I’m talking about—the days when love was the rhythm of life, when friendship was the foundation, and everything felt just right.

    Now, let’s dig into his song "Holding On." This jam has a nice vibe, asking, "What happened to the days when everything was all about love?” Ain't that the truth? It’s a reflection on a time when connections were deeper and love was pure. Eric’s got this way of inviting us to reminisce through his lyrics, reminding us that before we became lovers, we were friends. That’s the real deal, folks!

    As the music flows, he proclaims, "We can live those times again." Can you feel that? It's a call to hold onto those feelings, to reignite that spark! What he’s saying is that what we see now is not the end. Life's a journey, and love is always worth holding onto.

    With each line, Eric mixes that sweet melody with powerful truths, encouraging us to reflect and reconnect. Let Eric B. Turner remind you that love is a force, and it’s never too late to reach back for those golden days.

    Clay Riverton’s music was clayness. He was a mixture of things—a rebel and a poet, a dreamer and a realist, with a sound that flowed like the tide. Sometimes, his songs got banned from the radio because he stirred up too much excitement. His lyrics danced on the edge of controversy, painted with vivid emotions that hit listeners right in the gut.

    “Too raw,” the critics would say, shaking their heads disapprovingly. “Too much truth for the airwaves.” But for Clay, truth was all he knew. His guitar was an extension of his soul, strumming out stories of heartache, rebellion, and hope. Each note carried an energy that sparked something deep within his listeners—a longing for freedom that couldn’t be bottled up.

    In the smoky backrooms of underground clubs, people found refuge in his songs. Lost souls swayed under dim lights, intoxicated not just by the music but by the feeling that for a little while, they could let go of their fears. Clay would wade into the crowd, sweat rolled down his race and a grin plastered across his face, as if he believed every note was a secret whispered only to them.

    Yet, for every passionate embrace he received, there were harsh words from radio execs clutching their briefcases tightly, worried about the negative reaction to changing social values. “We cater to a conservative audience,” they’d say, dismissing his genius with a wave of boredom. “You’re too much, Clay. Tone it down.” But Clay wouldn’t be tamed; his music was wild and free, just like him.

    Despite the bans and the criticism, his fanbase grew like wildfire. They wore his logo—a clay heart—on their shirts and spoke his lyrics. “We need this,” they declared fervently; and though the world outside remained shackled by tradition, within those walls filled with humming anticipation, Clay was a liberator.

    With each track he penned, he mixed the colors of his life—a family torn apart, love lost in the chaos, and the relentless quest for belonging. And in every song, he buried a piece of himself—refusing to conform, refusing to be anything less than the wild, unapologetic spirit that defined him.

    As Clay sat in his cramped studio, eyes closed and guitar in hand, he pondered his next move. Would he continue to push the boundaries, knowing the risks? Or would he soften his edges for the sake of acceptance? The thought lingered like a whisper—a challenge waiting to be met.

    He opened his eyes, gazed at the scattered notes around him, and smiled. There was no choice to be made; the music would always come first.
