In Terrys’ words: This is from 1975 magazine interview, right after the release of Chicago VII
On Music – I get my inspiration usually from – personal things that have gone down
– (I listen to) Brecker Bros, Average White Band, The Band, Beatles, Jimi H.
On Guitars – I’m using a Tele with the old humbucker pickup off the first album
– its beefed up a …with a couple of capacitors to give it more edge
On using a 35W Amp onstage – “You see Im” the only guitar player on stage so I don’t have to compete with other guitarists. Its loud as hell”
On Jimi Hendix – (Q)He liked your playing? Oh yeah
– I met him a few times – We could never talk to each other
– Invited me to his house We’d look at each other, never really talk
On “Free form guitar” – “Well that was a whole different bag anyway …”

In a song:
… So forget about your troubles
As we search for something new
And we play for you
… Well my thoughts
Are like ripples in a stream
I see myself so free
… It’s just the hope for love once more
