The Majesty of Morning on the Marsh

There’s a certain solitude found in the early morning.  It may be the silence of still waters. Or maybe it’s the images of towering clouds reaching toward the hands of God. Regardless, there is Majesty in a Morning on the Marsh.

South Carolina Lowcountry native, Clay Rice, an internationally known silhouette artist, is also a song writer and musician. Clay has been described by author Pat Conroy as a “great talent who combines soul and passion.” Silhouette artistry and storytelling have been in his family for more than 80 years. His grandfather, Carew Rice, was described by Poet Carl Sandburg as “America’s Greatest Silhouettist” and traveled worldwide, sharing his mesmerizing cutouts with delighted customers. Songs from the Jon Boat is Clay’s way of putting his story telling talent to music.

The Jon Boat song is a ballad about the relationship between a boat, father, and son.
