My heart sank when I read the post.

Even as I'm typing this, I'm looking at Terry's autograph on the 'Songbook' poster above my desk with all the band's signatures on it.

The last concert we were at was Aurora, IL last fall. Glad I have some audio/video clips.

My family was the last ones to talk to Terry before they had to leave. We have some video of him singing a song from his "Posthumously Yours" album he was producing for a friend of his who had passed away about 10 years ago. (funny how life is)

We have had so many gracious conversations with Terry over the years. He has literally seen our 3 kids grow up. We even have a great picture of Terry tying my then-2-year old son's shoelace. (how many professional musicians would do that for a child ?????!!!!!)

Right before they had to go, my wife and I thanked them for coming again to Aurora. As he was walking away to leave, he turned around and said, "If it weren't for you guys, we wouldn't even be here!" Those are the last words Terry said to us.

Will there be a thread on which to send condolences directly to his family here on Corfid?

Charlene ?
