My Name is Terry Thomas and I have never won any awards, done any major touring, nor entered/won any contests. I just enjoy writing songs and playing them once in awhile for whomever will listen. They're not great songs with deep philosophical meaning, or ingenious ways to say the same old thing. They're just words with music. Lucky for me I was blessed enough to be born in the United States of America, and had enough open on my credit cards to record a CD.
So, I created my own label, New Old Guy Music (TM), signed myself, and released a CD titled "Still Finding My Way". It consists of 12 original songs written by me. In addition to myself on lead vocal and acoustic guitar, this CD also features the top notch musicianship and vocals of: Jeannine O'Neal, Scott Joss, Bobby Black, Tom Tomasello, Jeff Scroggins, Alex Gonzales, and Joe Ferrante. No matter what you think of the music; the musicians that I am fortunate enough to feature are AMAZING.
If you like my music, please leave a comment. If you don't like my music, please leave a comment. I realize that my material is not on par with whatever is on the airwaves, or American Idol. But I like it. It's pretty good country flavored music.
So, thanks for stopping by, and please check out some of the other bands and musicians that are in my friends.

Looking for musicians in the Bay Area

Right now, I would like to find a fiddle/mandolin player in the Bay Area that's interested in my music. A bass player would be great too, as would a dobro/steel guitar, keyboards, and drummer. Pretty ...
