Terry Afdem and I became friends when he was my keyboard teacher in 1964. We hit it off, and in 1965, he started calling me to sit in for him when he couldn't make a gig… This was during the “heyday” of “the Dynamics with Jimmy Hanna…” What a group!!! Great music… While my tenure with the group was sporadic and short-lived, it did leave an indelible mark on me, my music, my career, and who I am as a person… The confidence this experience instilled in me has served me well throughout my life/career… I've often wondered if Terry ever knew how important his “relationship” with me was… I know the other bands I played in during this time period (i.e., the Liberty Party, Enchanters, Merrilee Rush, etc.) benefited from my relationship with Terry and my experience playing with the Dynamics… I still think R&B is the best….
