    Right From Wrong

    By Joy Lynn Clark 12/8/2025 Right From Wrong (chorus) Hope you can say what you feel in a song And I know you know right from wrong And I miss you ever so deeply Deep inside I know you get what your needing And I hope one day when you see me When we hug you hear my heart beating (Verse 1)                 Now I wake up lonely                 Never had more so your only                 Do know how safe I feel when they lie cheat and steal                 Some people don’t know and others be phony                 Medicated days where my minds’ in a haze                 Stuck in this…

    Working with Steve

    10/22/2025 By Joy Lynn Clark I already had my own apartment on the southside with my boyfriend who was a dance dj. After I had just done the Jerry Springer Show, I met my first producer at a rap concert.  We went to some cool clubs and he introduced me different artists in the cities’ local music scene. I felt guilty going out to meet a man that’s not my boyfriend but I wanted to do more hip/hop and EDM and my boyfriend was more of a old school/deep house/disco dj.   He reluctantly accepted that I am trying to further my own career.  I felt guilty because he seemed to…

    Jennifer and Joy

    09/20/2025 By Joy Lynn Clark I was struggling as a single parent when I moved back home with my parents.  It was a humbling experience.  At first I worked as a weekend hostess on the breakfast shift at the local diner where I saw all of my former classmates.  I held my head up and showed every last one of them to their tables.  I also attended bartending  school where I earned my certificate.  I still had my hopes for radio and television so I kept sending my resume around.  I said goodbye to all of my friends on the breakfast shift and started tending bar just 10 minutes from…

    Strange Case

    By Joy Lynn Clark 09/06/2025 In spring of 2019 soon after the rains, I decided to lease a studio in the Mellwood Arts Building in Louisville.  The space was very industrial and home to several arts groups.  My studio was nestled between a dance, pottery, and wax studios (candlemaking).  I had just recently met the potters assistant and she said something like, “in training”.  I never met the candle maker but, I saw those dancers all the time at first.  I ended up deciding to work the graveyard shift after my foul debut singing, “Prostitute” at the very top of my lungs.  “Oops” I think to myself as the ballerinas…

    Flights

    07/15/2025 By Joy Lynn Clark I had just quit my job at a software company to do freelance work when my stepmother called.  “I have great news!” she announces.  “We are going to Europe to visit your brother on base.” She adds.  “Europe?  I thought that he was in Texas.”  I comment.  “He is actually in Europe so get your passport and start packing.”  My stepmom says. After I hung up the phone I sigh as I realize that I am going to have to, “resume download” for this huge presentation that I am working on.  Seems easy enough but it is barely the year 2000 and I have a…

    The Pathway to Peace

    3/28/2025 By Joy Lynn Clark Some people still do not know this. On the other hand, I only know how to access it with a PC so, if you are a Mac good luck. CTRL+ALT+Delete Task Manager Processes and Details Next remove any files that end in .COM (the communication file) you may want to click on it and have a listen – yep that annoying crap you’ve been hearing forever. Also, remove Com Surrogates and Com Aggregators – another annoying communications file. Yay! If you have a Mac and you can get into your processes and tasks you should also give this a try.

    Denominations – 12/27/24 Update

    Joy Lynn Clark BMI 02/10/2023 I decided to combine Denominations and Don’t Turn Me Off. It sounds pretty cool. I delivered it to another track that I rearranged. It still needs mastering but it is aiigt to listen to. Man gon’ need some denominations Lets have sex on a boat Tied to the dock with a rope Or set sail and take a cruise Or we could f*&k in the sun And check out the views And watch you count them denominations And I might just jump off And we could probably stay out And float around I’m just a drop in the lake You can give and I’ll take…
