OC
By Joy Lynn Clark 1/27/2026 Back in the day I had lots of jobs. Another one of my earliest positions was as a junior graphic designer for a design firm. I did business card layouts and club flyers mostly. I was still a production student but I had already taken graphic design classes and that was enough to get the job. After about a month, I decided that the owner just was too cheap. I was always begging and begging him to pay me. Turns out, he also had a cell phone shop in the front portion of the office and he was like, “How about this cell phone instead?”.…

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…

Things-LosMuertosEdit
By Joy Lynn Clark 11/3/2024 Since the lapsteel is out on lease, I decided to use the dulcimer version, special acknowledgement to Metallica who are famous for using this instrument.

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…
