Craig W. Thomas
Craig Thomas, with a 'W' in the middle so as not to be confused with a very rich and highly successful other of the same name, has written two books on sport: Losing My Religion, a football addiction recovery memoir, in 2002 and Roads To Redemption: A Guide To Major League Baseball. in the spring of 2005. In terms of music he has produced a book's worth of material on the progressive band Yes for his website (craigwthomas.com) and has published a number of reviews on the internet, including Robben Ford and Kate Rusby. He has ceased to poison the Pat Metheny chatroom Amercan Garage by claiming that he is not as good as he was in the '80s.
