			<description><![CDATA[ <p>I wrote this after coming home from a concert but now with so few times Clay sings it still has meaning.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Please one more time
<br>
just once more
<br>
your voice I need to hear
<br>
spilling forth to ease my pain
<br>
your endless magic nears</p>

<p>I know your heart
<br>
I feel your soul
<br>
how can I go now blind</p>

<p>Where once I smiled
<br>
once soared on wings
<br>
my passion bared to life
<br>
now emptiness creeps quietly
<br>
to steal my breath tonight</p>... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Sometimes I like to try to step into Clay&#39;s world and write from his perspective.  It&#39;s pure speculation of course as to how he really feels about his
fame and his new life but here&#39;s my entry to what it must be like.
<br>
<br>
The Price of Fame
<br>
<br>
Fame like a giant wave bears me skyward
<br>
onward, forcing me higher than ever before
<br>
It singes my nerves, sets aloft my soul
<br>
and frightens the hell out of me
<br>
 
<br>
Higher, faster, farther. . . speeding upward... ]]></description>

  Spamalot is such a major career move for Clay. My thoughts usually turn to Faye since I am more her age than Clay&#39;s and have raised my own three boys. I
  wrote this for her, trying to imagine what she is feeling, what she may have felt as a mom as Clay&#39;s career has grown to this point. From our
  children&#39;s first steps, there is a time mothers wait for...a time when they know their job is well done.

<br>
Although, I showed it to my friend, and she told me she got tears in her eyes reading it, because it made her think back to that night. &quot;It's wonderful!&quot; she said, so I decided, heck, I'll share it. <br>
