I just heard about Terry's passing yesterday, and I cannot shake the blues that I'm feeling over it.

The first time I met Terry, I was just a kid who had eluded the security and made it back stage at Massey Hall. That was March 1972. Terry was new to the band and this was my first Lightfoot concert. He actually spoke to me, and let me see his Martin and his Gretsch. He spoke of learning Red's licks, and was so gracious. We spoke several times since that day, and he made a huge impression on me. I spent many hours learning Terry's licks.

He will be sorely missed by not just his family and friends for the person he was, but by so many folks who appreciate his music and what he did for Gord's music. My sincerest condolences to everyone who knew and loved him.
