Hello fellow bloggerite.
I'm writing a record which will be recorded out here in the wild west.

Sooooooooooo, I must start by saying that I am stoked (california word) to catch up with so many of you. Craig 2.0 has been launched, and he is eager to connect. I will do my best to report what is happening out here in Los Angeles and what brought me, my wife, my guitar, and now pupson, 'Otis Redding Paddock' out here in the first place.  But first, a little tidbit in regards to what I've been up to the past 3 years.
 I had the great pleasure of creating my first studio album with my close friend and former 'Ellipsis' band mate, Eric Heigle. This was released in the winter of 2010. The release date of my album, 'Merci' occurred three years after the Ellipsis crew put things to rest. Perhaps I have a habit of doing things every other three years.

     In this blog, I'd like to do my best to describe who I am and who I've become over the course of my musical career. 'Merci' was my first stab at writing an album on my own. There were close to 40 songs I wrote in preparation for the recording. In the end, we only chose 7 to record. We released 6 songs total for the e.p. Something important to note: 'WE' means that I never could have made this record without some very important people. Just to name a few...Eric Heigle-Producer, Ben Lorio-mixing, Thomas Favret-guitars, Phil Breen-Keys, Mike Burch-drums, Scott Jackson -bass....
The list could truly go on and on.

Well, as it appears I've gone done one rabbit hole to another, I'll simply end this blog by saying that I have a lot to say and little time. I look forward to writing again.

God Speed and save the queen,

Craig Paddock
