.. I've been called (by many people or several people): a "World-famous celebrity" and a "Rock star" (as recently as the year 2007 in Los Angeles,, California (L.A.) by an executive for a record label in L.A. where I was living at the time (2006-2009)....I was announced to everyone in (Indianapolis, Indiana , my so-called "hometown", by a radio woman DJ said "Ladies and Gentlemen of Indianapolis, Indiana...we have had a "World-famous celebrity" living here in Indianapolis, Indiana for the last 15 YEARS and WE DIDN'T KNOW IT!!!"...surprise....that over the air to about 2 million listeners there in 2006...a "Rock star" as recently as 2007 in Los Angeles, California (L.A.) on the West coast of USA....and many other accolades, etc....I am a member of famous ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers)...and MENSA, the "High I.Q. Society" worldwide in more than 85 different countries, and I'm in 32 major "Who's Who" books since 1989. I began playing the piano at age of 4 (my mother was an accomplished classical pianist, with a Bachelor's degree in "Classical piano" from Indiana University School of Music in Bloomington, Indiana in 1947. I studied classical piano in summer 1972 with Michel Bourgeot from Paris, France, graduate of famous Paris Conservatory of Music. I began composing music at age of 9 when I was in the 3rd grade at I.P.S. School #57 in Indianapolis, Indiana...it was in a minor key. I taught myself to compose for orchestras. I have composed more than 20 different genres and styles of music in my lifetime....music geniuses have called me a "music genius"... I studied Music Composition with 4 genius avant-garde composers at Ball State U. from 1972-1975: Dr. Ernesto Pellegrini (from JULLIARD SCHOOL, New York City, NY); Dr. Cleve Scott (from Hollywood, California); Morris Knight (famous in the avant-garde music world in the '70s); David Foley (opera composer). I've played in famous rock bands/variety/jazz fusion band/disco/classic rock/easy listening/classical....I began recording in pro studios at age 19 in 1970 at Gilfoy Sound Studio in Bloomington, Indiana (summer) and then 1972 at same studio, at ages of 19 and 21. I made my first record (a 7" single) in 1974 of my original "famous songs" of "Alabama D.A." and "So Hard, So Long" which were announced to the entire music industry and music world in the famous "Billboard magazine" here in New York City in 1974 and those songs were on the radio in 1974. I auditioned for RCA producer, Dave Kirchenbaum, in Chicago. In 2017, I composed, arranged, produced, performed, engineered, mixed, mastered, and did all the effects and graphic design and photography (everything!) of a new, major 11-minute instrumental classical/World fusion music work entitled "The Future Is Now - After the Seventh Trumpet" which is now on SPOTIFY (along with 55 other original tracks of mine) and Amazon Music and TomatoShark.com/storefront/johnthomas1951/ and will be on Pandora soon and You Tube and the world! It took me about 6 weeks of solid work to do everything "one note at a time", the hard way! I also spent 2 weeks getting it in final approved format for the distributor (for worldwide use and sales of my mp3s and flac's" Do a "Google- search" for it! Also, I have new websites...more of that later...I am poor right now, but am hopeful that financially things will improve soon! I will talk more about my new music later...I used a Roland Integra 7 synth module (with 8,000 sounds in it) to perform and record all the music on this new work! Immediately after my music was completed and sent to the distributor, my new Dell Inspiron 3567 notebook PC had a problem where I can not 'boot up' the computer at all! So I can't do any more recording and composing till that problem is solved!

The drummer with me at Pinnacle Peak Patio was Rick Curtis, a hard-driving country western drummer, who at that time was living with a girlfriend named B. Welles, who is daughter of world famous actor ORSON WELLES who starred in the famous movie, CITIZEN KANE and who was also famous for his 1930's radio broadcast about the H G WELLES sci fi book and movie, "The War of the Worlds", which was so realistic that many people in the USA thought we were being invaded by Martians with a death ray in the USA, that many Americans in this 1930s radio broadcast actually committed suicide and other bad things. That's it for now! Hope you enjoy my music! Spread the word if you like i
