(updated 11 April 2009)Thanks for stopping by! My name is Craig Wilson and I sing and play music in the Cincinnati area. I also dabble in the recording arts and I still travel a bit. I work as a keyboardist, vocalist, technical support guy, and I do a whole lot of audio production. Whew! Well it's better than getting a "day job"!! I have a mobile 24 track recording system that I rent out. Price includes setup/operator/teardown and ruff mix. I can also provide FOH for small to medium size venues in addition to recording! Call me for a quote, 859-750-4984. I offer transcription/archival/restoration sevices of vinyl and cassette and reel to reel tape. I have some vintage tape machines that are in excellent working order. Rates vary, call for a quote, 859-750-4984. I do audio and video production. Need some help with content for you website? There are many examples on this website of what I do. I'd love to help you too. Here is my Friends and Family folder: http://wilsonics.com/Movies/normal/FriendsAndFamily.html EVERY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY 7pm-11pm at Waterfront Restaurant Covington, KY (859) 581-1414 for reservations or directions
Tuesdays - Piano Solo FRIDAYS 5pm-9pm Jags Steak and Seafood Restaurant (West Chester, OH) Happy Hour in the Piano Lounge
SATURDAYS 6pm-9pm Follow this link to my calender New York City Steakhouses! I've told you how great that I think the Waterfront's food and service is. I've said that I thought it was on par with the best that I've seen in the world that I've travelled. So it is very reassuring to see that the 2007 edition of Zagat Survey rates Jeff Ruby Steakhouses HIGHER than any steakhouse in all of New York City!! If we can make it here... here's the link Congratulations to Jeff Ruby and the incredible staff and management of the Waterfront and Southbeach grill. It is an honor and a priveledge to work with such a fine establishment. Now, can I get a "Southbeach Blue" and a nine-ounce filet med-rare?!". Bud Light Salutes My Brother Chris and His Team
My brother Chris is now officially a "Real Man of Genius"!! Bud Light Salutes "Mr T-shirt Launcher Inventor"
A few years ago, my brother and his team designed the T-shirt launcher that won first place in the Java 1 contest. You have to see it to believe it! Congratulations Team Didactic Whoosh!! Also my brother's company has released an App for the i-phone and it has been very successful. My company provided the music and voice-over for the demo on youtube. "HOW SOON IS NOW!?" Back in the 1980's... here's a track that I did the vocals and music sequence for... My best friend in the whole world My beloved Bailey Dog is a big ol' cuddle baby!!  I wrote a song for my best friend Bailey, I hope you like it! I've often been asked what kind of dog Bailey is. He's a rescue dog, so I may never know exactly what he is or where he came from. All I know is that I found him in Boone County's Animal Shelter and that he picked me!! Owning a dog is a responsibility. Getting the right kind of dog for your lifestyle is very important. A lot of people go out and buy a puppy. Then things get messy as the puppy grows up. And dogs like Bailey end up in the shelter (or worse). People need to know what happens if a dog ends up in the shelter and no one claims or adopts them. Please take your time and talk to folks like you'll find at Boone County Animal Shelter and get advice. Talk to obedience trainers at your local Pet Supply Stores like PetSmart. Please do a good thing and adopt - don't buy. You'll be amazed what kind of wonderful dogs end up in the pound and perhaps, like me, you'll wonder how such a beautiful creature could ever end up there.

These songs were recorded and engineered by In the early 1980's I was in Bahrain (a Persian Gulf Island) performing at a 5-star hotel whilst Iran was bombing tankers about 100 miles away. Anyway, CNN used my band to open one of thier reports...  Craig, Alana, Rufus - Three's Company

click here to open video clip of"Three's Company Band", Bahrain at Gulf Hotel 1983 I did a live audio recording of a fabulous band "Noctaluca" for their Live DVD. We recorded the show at the Madison Theater in Covington, KY and the staff and management were awesome! Here's a Video clip of Control Freak.
SO WHAT DO I DO ANYWAY!? I play all kinds of music. I call what I do "eclectic pop", and to me, that means songs that you probably know and sing-a-long with like Sinatra, Bennett, Dean Martin, Billy Joel, Elton John, James Taylor, John Mayer, Journey etc... I even do a few songs in Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. I love variety! Do you have a request? I might know it! I also do audio engineering and technical support for the entertainment arts. This includes programming synthesizers, writing technical articles and mostly helping artists not have to worry about all the high-tech gobble-de-gook so that the artist can concentrate on making great art! I have done musician and engineering duties for R and B legend, Kenny Smith. I have worked as engineer for the gifted vocalist/percussionist/songwriter, Emmy nominated Patsy Meyer (Peabo Bryson, Patty Austin, Lamb and Meyer). I have done work for The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, The Moscow Circus, Brady Seals and Little Texas, La Comedia Dinner Theatre, as well as countless others. I did archival and restoration of reel to reel tape (over 1000 reels so far) containing music beds for "As The World Turns", "Days of Our Lives", "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and many other national shows. Some of this material was from Emmy Award Winning Composer/Producer John Henry and Worldwide Music Services in Hollywood.
I offer a transcription/archival/restoration service for reel tapes and even 4-track cassettes. Rates vary, call for a quote. If you have music stored on tape, I have some strong advice for you. DO NOT try to play it unless the tapes have been properly tested and restored. I offer this service at a very cost-effective rate. If tapes are not properly prepared, odds are the tape will be permanantly damaged and the playback device will need servicing!!! The reason is simply this -- the metal oxide in older tape is held to the mylar tape by a "binder" (glue). This binder, with age and humidity, gets sticky. When the tape moves across the parts of the playback device, the oxide and binder come off the tape. The metal oxide is your music! I have thousands of hours of restoration experience of very valuable audio libraries.
Other services include:
Mobile Recording (includes engineer, setup etc.)

Thanks for the times that we've had!
Sincerely,
Craig Wilson
