            <description><![CDATA[I had a friend of mine help load my songs from the Celtic CD but he only loaded it so you could hear 30 sec of each song. I think you aught to be able to hear at least a minute. If you agree, let me know and I'll get it fixed. <br /> Oh yeah! I also figured out how to make my pictures loadable but it takes an extra effort. I'll load some more tomorrow of me at Camp Street Cafe. We'll have some more after September the 4th.<br /> My cousin's son, Brian told me how to fix each picture so it will load but it means I have to make an effort to choose the ones I REALLY want to put on here or I'd be here all day. Don't you love upgrades in website software? I'm not a genius but I'm figuring it out slowly.<br />Ya'll have a nice day.]]></description>

            <link>http://cindygrayson.com/blog.html/im_back</link>
            <description><![CDATA[I drove from Texas to Ithaca , New York and had a great visit with family - discussing genealogy,music and wine making. Lots of promises to keep in touch better. I even got to visit with an email friend in Ohio on the way up and back. Always good. I borrowed his GPS ( which my younger son has been bugging me to try out)and now I'm addicted! I love it. It erases all the stress and fear of getting lost and allows you to enjoy the trip so much more. <br /> I added two more songs to my song book for my gigs - " Hallelujah " by Leonard Cohen and" Aragon Mill" ( can't remember who wrote it but my cousin Barbara turned me on to it and I like it. I plan on doing both at Camp Street in Crockett,Texas next month.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I'm heading for Ithaca, New York to a family reunion. I've never driven it all my self before so wish me luck. I know there are many of you who drive all the time but I haven't for quite awhile and I'm nervous about it. If I make it back i one piece, I'll let you know. Yes, I have my guitar and I will play along with the rest of my family. Most of us play at least one or more instruments.]]></description>

            <title>Looking forward to Friday - the long day</title>
            <link>http://cindygrayson.com/blog.html/looking_forward_to_friday__the_long_day</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Friday is a long day for me because I work from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm. I have about a half an hour between jobs from 5 - 6:30 and it's always a rush to see if I can get to my second job on time but I manage. I hate the rush but I love playing at The Manhattan in Lufkin ,Texas. It's a family owned Italian resturaunt with the best food and the best crew. The family who runs it and wonderful people. Destin and Lesa greet you as you come in and always check during the meal to make sure you're satisfied with the meal. The atmosphere is low light with a candle at each table. There are 22 t5ypes of wine and a full bar and excellent waiters who carry your food to you on a large tray and are very attentive. It's also one evening a week I get to dress up and actually try to look my best. They often stop and tell me how much they enjoyed my music and I really like it. I could get my dinner for free but it's too hard to eat a whole meal on a 15 min break. One of these days I'm going to go and just eat on one of my off days. The food is the best!<br />  Saturday I am scheduled to set up my annual once a year art show at the Lamp Light Theater and then I'll be running off to Ithaca , New York until the 12th of August when I'll be back just in time to break down the art show and take my work back home. After that, I'll try to slow down a little and take it easy. Ha! We'll see. I'm not good at slowing down. Too much to do that I haven't done yet.<br />Have a wonderful evening and feel free to drop a comment.<br /><br />Cindy Grayson]]></description>

            <link>http://cindygrayson.com/blog.html/camp_st_cafe</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Camp Street Cafe was great ( as usual). The variety of performances was wonderful. They won't have another one until September . It's the first Saturday in September and it starts at 7:00 pm but I usually try to get there by 6:30 pm. I think this time I'm going to do either " Jesse James" or " Frankie & Johnny". Then there are two old Irish tunes I plan on working on. I'm even going to work on my choice of songs during my trip to my family reunion in Ithaca , New York this August.<br /> If you would like me to lengthen my samples of the songs on my Celtic CD, Let me know. I had a friend load them and he chose a shorter time than I would have.<br /> If there's anything you want to ask me, don't hesitate. I'd love some input.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[If you want to see more pictures, you can find me on Face Book and check out my photo albums. This site uses photo shop and I use a different program with my photos and don't wish to load another whole program into my computer memory and relearn another program when I'm already use to one. Sorry for the inconvenience.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[For those who just stop by and are gracious enough to check out my music - welcome.!  I try to keep up with this site from my home in East Texas, USA. I live on 42 acres and am in the process of trying to be a self sufficient as possible. I have a theory about 21/12 and I think if it does happen, I might be living on an island and am preparing as best I can. I have my music and my art, my garden and my chickens and I'll try to stockpile as much as I can so even if it doesn't happen, I can still sit on my porch and play my  guitar and eat well! :-)]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[It's hard in the spring and summer keeping up with my computer. I have reached a point in my life that my parents need me and my 42 acres is become the place where I will probably spend the rest of my life so I'm spending a lot of time trying to get it set up where it suites me. I haven't written anything new for almost a year but I haven't quit. It means I am trying to get my world in order and trying to create an environment that will allow me to spend all my free time doing my art and my music. Apparently, this means I need to spend a lot of time in just my own company so as soon as I do that, I will have a lot more to talk about and my calendar will fill up. I also need to find out how to deal with East Texas allergies. They're playing havoc with my voice. It's been a few months since my voice would do what I want it to.<br /> In the mean time, I bought a puppy and have put in a garden and a green house and bought some chickens and am trying to learn how to be a self sufficient as I can and be as healthy. I think we all need to be aware of these things now - and will need it more in the next year or two.<br />I'll keep you posted.]]></description>

It's on the 12th of June and is a wonderful day to spend a day.]]></description>
