2) 11 NEW YOUTUBE POSTS!
With the essential assistance of CX/ARah fan (and tennis great) Dennis Slade, Jr, I have been able to maintain a steady diet of YouTube postery (a.k.a. "postational devices" or, more simply, "postage"). This past weekend, we recorded eleven new posts, ten of them music, and one of them me talking to a *fan (*that's kind of a joke, and you'll see how...). Here's the music we recorded:

CX ORIGINAL SONGS

a) On the Rag Again (lyrics by CX - music by Willie Nelson)

b) One Lucky Girl (words+music by CX)

c) Letters From Heaven (words + music by CX)

d) Your Woman (words & music by CX)

e) To Be (words+music by CX)

To view/hear them all, plus older posts of other CX original and cover songs, as well as the footage of me talking and being silly, visit the official CX YouTube hang-out at www.youtube.com/cassendrexavier. You can also embed the videos onto your blog or website from there. Yay!
