Richard Paul Thomas -- better known to his friends as RpT -- has been making music since rock 'n' roll was young. And he's still finding new sources of inspiration each time he picks up a guitar and sits down to write a song.
Thomas prides himself on exploring a wide range of musical genres -- from rock and R&B to jazz and soulful balladry -- and emotions that travel from lighthearted and fun to serious and introspective. His thought-provoking examinations of life's joys and challenges come from the heart and speak to the soul.

RpT's second CD is entitled Wings Of My Heart, was produced, engineered and mixed by Chris Gage. Recorded at Gage's Moonhouse Studio in Austin, the twelve tracks are a refreshing presentation of life's joys and challenges. The title song reaches back to the early days of Buddy Holly and all the songs that "never grow old" and are destined to become a part of your life's soundtrack as they "sing to the Wings of My Heart".

Thanks for the kind words. I will check out Troubled Tears and the friend request soon. Our granddaughter was born this morning so I am preoccupied at the moment. RpT
