Today would have been Woodelf’s 72nd birthday. So I’m posting some music to remember him by.

Terry’s musical tastes were, in his own words, . . .

eclectic, ranging from my “countryside” composers, Moeran, Vaughan Williams, Butterworth and Delius, to a few classical and more modern composers, Telemann and Reich, then onto the blues and folk, the sixties through the seventies and into the wide, weird and wonderful world of BBC Radio 6 Music.

He cited his favourite guitarists as being John Fahey, Nick Drake, Mississippi John Hurt and Robin Williamson.

Having worked with Terry over several months on the design of his website, I know that Terry was very much a perfectionist. However he was also incredibly easy-going too, so I know that he’d probably approve of almost any type of music posted here in his memory.

My own choice for him is ‘Sunny Days’, which is the opening track on the album ‘Songs from Lucy’s Cottage’ by Lol Robinson and Hazey Jane II. I know that it had special significance for Terry as he performed with the band at the launch gig for the

Nice thought, Buen.  I miss Terry & will let his partner know about this thread 🙂I helped Terry find tracks he wanted on YouTube & then made CDs for him of the ones he selected.  Those extremely varied choices all had one thing in common - Terry enjoyed them for any number of reasons & this is one of them, picked by me stabbing the cursor on the list

Afraid I've to be up early in the morning, so my last one for now.  I didn't like everything he picked, but I had to agree with Terry on this one, it's a great track

Hi all, just to add that I spoke with Terry's partner this afternoon & she was thrilled that he'd been remembered with a music thread & asked me to thank Buenchico & all his AB friends 🙂

Just to say that I for one shan't be forgetting him or his artwork. I still think of him every time I put on a bit of John Fahey.  😎

He sounded a lovely man, and a very interesting character.
