What a coincidence to come across a letter from composer, arranger, conductor and former TVNZ bandleader Terry Gray, dated May 25, 1991, after I blogged about him on (nearly) the seventh anniversary of his passing. Here it is for others who may be interested in a little slice of Kiwi life. It looks like ITC Garamond Book Narrow here, though the resolution doesn’t make it very clear.
Hi Jack
The years go by but the internet sometimes throws up interesting bits and pieces. I have just stumbled across your interesting comments about Terry Gray, musician. Terry worked for a while at a Wellington restaurant “ Windows on Wellington “. There on Saturday nights and sometimes Fridays, he entertained all with real style. Such a nice man. I lost touch with him some time ago unfortunately. I was also late in learning about his death, but will remember him as you do.

Thank you for your nice comments, Liz. Terry was a class act, such a talented composer, arranger and conductor. I remember Windows on Wellington, but I didn’t know he performed there. I wish there were more opportunities for Terry to work his magic through the 1990s. What a talent!
