I'm not sure if you all knew, but last year Craig entered an International student recording competition at the Audio Engineering Society's conference in San Fransisco. He walked away with 1st place in the Pop/Rock category. As he graduated in April, he was able to submit his recordings one last time to the conference, this time held in New York City. This time he's surpassed his previous winnings and walked away with two awards. 1st in the Pop/Rock category and 2nd in the World/Folk category. This is an amazing award to me because he is up against the next generation of professional recording engineers and he has won 2 years in a row. As I responded to my Mom when she asked what competitions there are after the student competition, "Only the Grammy's!" I see myself on the red carpet one of these days probably not so far away. I know I'm bragging, but someone's got to. You'd never hear anything from him. There were many entries and most of them had access to the most advanced equipment. Then there's Craig with his not so top of the line equipment recording in places like our previous little house in Pleasant Grove Utah and a barn house in the middle of the Utah desert! That's talent for you! Here's to you Craig!!! His winning songs should be up on his website if not now than shortly. www.cornerhousestudio.com

Craig, you put the "wreck" in record! You be brinin' down da hay-ouse. Knockin' 'em down, layin' 'em out wit a one, two three count. You da wreckord macine, yo. Settin' records like House settin' broken bones. Parlizin' wit da headphones, 'cause your jams be fly like dat.
Congratulations and all, but Pop/Rock has to be a pretty easy category to win. There are so many people recording pop/rock songs, all you have to do is find a good one and copy it. Now 'pre-funk traditional Indian fusion with at least one sarrusophone and no more than three sackbuts' is a much more difficult category. You have no point of reference since no other recording engineers work in that genre. True, it is much more likely that you will win first place when you have the only entry, but that also means you get last place. The emotional roller coaster is devastating.
wow! congratulations, Taralyn! the reason i am congratulating you instead of Craig is for your superb bragging skills. believe me i've tried my hand at bragging and i suck at it. there is even a Bragging Game i've played and i always lose. are there any tips you can give me?
oh yeah, and congrats to you too, Craig! you are awefull! [definition: a more complete awe than awesome].
