ALBANY, NY, United States (UPI) -- After writing two columns on Clay Aiken and his efforts to help remove the stigma of disabilities, I thought I'd give the topic a rest, but then Dick Clark made his comeback on New Year's Rockin' Eve and the e-mails started coming.

MTV- What's coming up in 2006... mentions Clay's sophomore album, which is slated for April/May.

2006: A Look Ahead
And that's not all. If we're lucky, Kevin Federline will have second thoughts about his debut solo release. Though we can't tell you anything about it yet, Mrs. Federline is also supposed to have a new album in 2006, and look for the second release of new songs from "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken in the summer.

Mention about Clay's hair.

Two great tastes that taste great together
Ushering in the new year

One of the things that I love about going to shows are the special guest stars. You know, when someone is called from the audience to sit in, or a musician with another gig in town stops by to play a few tunes. In the case of Blueground Undergrass, Caroline Aiken, fresh off a First Night Macon set, stopped by 550 Blues after midnight.

It turned out to be a great combination of musical talents. The Rev. Jeff acted as ringleader with his electric banjo, conducting the somewhat carnival-like songs with an amiable persona. Fiddler David was on fire the whole night, plus he had this weird doggie thing strapped to his arm. And Matthew, one of the newer additions to the group, more than kept up with the elder statesmen on electric and acoustic guitar. Even though his new haircut made him look Clay Aiken-esque (their words, not mine!)
