We lost T-Bone 13 years ago today. (December 24, 1951 – February 28, 2010) I hung out with him for a day back in 2008. In the studio during the recording of John Oates’ “1000 Miles Of Life.” He treated me like we’d known each other for years. We talked about guitars and recording. When I introduced myself to him, I said, “Today, I’m Terry… not T-Bone!” He said, “No! You’re T-Bone too!” Every time he emailed me, he always called me T-Bone. He was so clever and had such a great sense of humor. I miss him… as we all do. But especially on this day.

Do yourself a favor and watch this short clip of my podcast of me talking with John Oates about T-Bone. It’s obvious what he meant to John.
