Ronnie Thomas: How I Wrote "Girl of My Dreams"

"Girl of My Dreams" was released by Britain's Bram Tchaikovsky in 1979. With its chiming guitars, soaring melody and anthemic lyrics, it quickly became a power pop classic. The song was written by Ronnie Thomas, a London-born bass player who had been in the proto-punk band Heavy Metal Kids. Here's Ronnie talking about how he came to write "Girl of My Dreams."

Ronnie Thomas' music and lyrics for Girl of My Dreams are as good as any Lennon-McCartney ever wrote, and better than some, and Bram & the boys sure delivered the goods. Thanks Ronnie, and thank you John for the great interview.....
