Pat Terry (Senior) in the Banjo Hall of Fame.
My Dad, Pat Terry, Sr. passed away in 1997. He was a world class banjoist who had played on the stage as an entertainer/musician throughout the U.S.A. in the 1930's and 1940's in over 500 cities. Later in the 1950' and 60's he played in shows in the Boston and New York area and at Radio City Music Hall, Disneyland, California and Walt Disney World, Florida. He is being honored on May 25th, 2006 by being inducted into the "National Four-String Banjo Hall of Fame Museum" in Guthrie, Oklahoma (USA) for "Historical Performance". Details and his photo can be found at www.patterrysr.com
As for myself, I am currently playing at Walt Disney World, Florida. From 1980-1984, with the able assistance of his wife, Judy, and assistant editors, Randy Morris and Van Gilbert, I published INTERNATIONAL BANJO magazine. The publication featured interviews, articles, news and music for all styles of banjo, Tenor, Plectrum, and 5-string. I tried to get the International banjo community together. That was before the internet. Now I applaud you for doing the same.
Best regards,
Pat Terry, Jr.
