Craig Douglas Baker, my best friend and companion, lost his fight with esophageal cancer April 15, 2004, the day cradled between both of our birthdays. During his fight, music kept him focused and creative. There was a short time that the cancer paralyzed his vocal chord but, thanks to radiation, he recovered his voice long enough to professionaly record a CD. As I listen now I hear so many more layers to his lyrics than I did when he was recording or writing. He was preparing to leave this world through his music. The range of human emotion, love, exploration of the unknown, earthly delights, pain and beauty are all expressed through his words and are woven together delicately with the strands of his guitar and the moan of his harmonica. It's a blanket of comfort to me.

my blanket from the stars
remember who we are

This page is a showcase of his recordings. Nothing fancy in most of these recordings, simply the man and his music, recorded through a cheap computer mic, and occasionally mixed with Adobe Premiere. I prefer the naked version myself, but a guy has to play with his computer toys too, I guess.

If you don't have a good mp3 player, I suggest musicmatch jukebox, or winamp.

If you'd like a copy of his CD I'll send you one.

If you aren't familiar with "LIVE 365", take a listen to MuseEek from the Mousepad for 6 + hours of music by Craig Baker (the catinside)
