"Most of my songs were written about breathtaking beautiful girls that I was too shy to respond to but who waited for me quite endlessly; through my shyness and total coldness to them. They waited with such risk in front of their peers "and though I never let on . . . ", it utterly blew me away - so many times. Many of my songs are a total tribute to them."
"Where Am I" and "In School" fit that category. "In School" was written about all half a dozen girls collectively that countlessly waited from the very beginning of middle school through high school; and "Where Am I" was about the last girl in the last semester of his senior year who waited even to graduation day! And the pinnacle of it all; she sat right behind him all semester with so many signs and one day in frustration said out loud in a quiet full classroom, "Is Craig here today?!"
He's only submitted his music to ONE radio or TV station ever. His only album is the number 1 most played album on WQRZ
103.5 FM out of over 1200 albums for FOUR years!! Other LPs his beat out include the Beatles albums, Abba's Greatest Hits, Rumours, and all! That's, at his first PITCH at bat in the pros; a HOME RUN with the bases loaded- which wins the American League pennant . . . ! ! (Likened to that!!)
