It's been about a year or so since I recorded this session with Terry, my friend Shaun's father. His wife, Lesley, reached out to see if I'd record a session with Terry about his life. While I'd met Terry multiple times through the years, this was the first time I sat down with him at any length to get to know him better and learn more about his life in South Africa and in the U.S.
For some interviewees, all it takes is a few questions and they're an open book. This was the case with Terry. In fact, I hardly asked him any questions at all. He shared that he was an open book and nothing could be further from the truth. Terry shared openly and with a lot of care for his family story.
Terry later passed away in July of 2022, just a few months after this recording. Since then, it's been my honor to hold this story and to share it with you today, with Terry's blessing. Take a listen.
