He’ll play quietly if you ask him. Repeatedly.

Terry's been honing his musical skills since Paul, John, George and Ringo started out all those years ago. Today he digs Robben Ford, Eric Johnson, Larry Carlton, Satch, SRV, EC...

And admits he doesn't sound like any of them.

Answers to “Pig Eye” or “Boomer”.
