    Story Behind the Song
    John David Thomas became inspired (as he often did) by the beatiful college coeds at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana on campus where John studied from 1971-1974 full-time there at BSU, earning his college degree there in Music Theory & Composition...one day (around 1972-1973), he was thinking of "the meaning of life" (he studied Philosophy while at BSU)...well, anyway...he composed this music "one day" at Ball State while he was sitting in a "practice room" in the Music School there, at a piano...and THIS is the music that "came into his mind" while he played the piano in that room!! It was never recorded by ANYONE until John did so in the year 2001 in the basement of the residence (where Studio Central is located) where he has lived from 1991-2002, just 1 block E, 1 block N of 98th & Keystone in Indianapolis/Carmel, IN, USA!! It was recorded in one take, done "live" with NO overdubs!!! Using a Kurzweil keyboard and a KAWAI 88-note MIDI controller...the custom sound was a "Young & Chang" 9-foot concert grand piano (for those of you who are technically-driven, the "piano sample" is a 16 Megabyte sample!!)
