Terry was a -- I almost hesitate to write this next word it is so overused & abused -- beautiful person. I loved the guy, met him while at UChicago where he worked as (of all things!) a computer programmer and data analyst. We became friendly around the "music thing" and that's when I discovered he ws that Terry Callier, the one who'd made a landmark LP in the 60s entitled The New Folk Sounds Of Terry Callier (Cadet label, IIRC) and so many more past that, though in more of a funk vein than the debit.

In any event we talked music, geetars, Chicago Blues, and even played sessions together over the course of several years. Then I left Chicago. Then Terry died. And that is all I can write for now.

PS: hearing selected sides by John Prine and Harry Chapin playin' in the background as I write these lines ain't doing nuthin' for my composure.

PPS: I also copped one of my best geetar amplifiers, an old brown-covered Fender Pro Amp (older, single 15" Jensen type), from Terry, a gift to terry from Phil Upchurch and from terry to me.
