Terry2017

Terry took piano lessons as a child, played percussion with a concert band for a time, and now plays drum set with the combo “Just Friends”.
His interest in instruments that produce music mechanically (ie with punched paper, punched cardboard books, pinned cylinders, and punched discs) began with the music of the carousel in his childhood.

Terry is a member of Friends of the German Street Organ, the Carousel Organ Association of America, and the Musical Box Society International (see Links page). In addition to being well known in the National Capital area as an organ grinder, Terry and his wife, Jan, also provide entertainment with Bender's Circus Calliope for larger venue events.
