If the Holocaust Was a Myth: "Doesn't matter to me that this was written by a non-Jew.
Anyone can appreciate the horror in some way or another.
& in fact, the more voices of all kinds that help keep the memory of what happened alive the better."
- Rick Lupert - poet, host of Cobalt Poets - CA
"Nice website.
Guess I won't be seeing you around so much now that poetry night (Barnes & Noble Encino, Borders Canoga Park) is defunked.
Let me know if you're ever at Kulak's Woodshed again. That's right down the street from me.
I'll try to make it down there some Monday night. Sounds like they have quite a crowd."
- Gil Roscoe - author, poet, comedian - CA

"Your poetry was terrific for our audience. Especially the children.
When you read your first poem (Listen to Me, Santa) you really had the children's attention.
I was sitting behind them & they were so still & watching & listening to your every word.
Thanks to you for making the long trek up here. I hope you come again."
- Joy LeBaron - poet - CA

"To celebrate the last Encino Barnes & Noble reading of the year,
we will be featuring the popular songwriter poet MICK TERRY.
Mick's personality, panache & enthusiasm are beyond compare & he is not to be missed."
(from the print & email flyer distributed)
"Mick: Your energy is amazing. I love your enthusiasm. Thank you for a wonderful job
& an equally wonderful turnout of talented people (65+).
It was a wonderful audience & a wonderful night. It could have not gone better.
It was helped by your friends who played music. I thought they were all great.
Know that you have personally done more than any other feature to see to it that there will be an audience.
You could have not done more.
It was an emotional evening for me.
Dori Marler being there while obviously not feeling well, then reading with passion.
& the last young boy who sang so sadly reminded me very much of my son.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Rick (Lupert) & his family as well.
No one nicer or more talented than Rick, or a better host."
- Ron Dvorkin -
former host of Borders Canoga Park
& Barnes & Noble Encino Poetry Open Mics - CA

"As usual you were great. You are a wonderful friend & one of my favorite poets.
What a great attitude & sense of humor. My kinda guy.
I love your material & your wonderful spirit."
(Barnes & Noble Encino Featured Poet 11-28-09)
"Last night I felt so dizzy that I was thinking of not going, but I really wanted to be there for you.
& you were worth it. What a night! I'm so glad I came. You are just great.
Just keep doing what you do & I hope I'm included in each of your presentations.
My son, John, started to play guitar when he was about 10 years old.
He was 14 at the time with me in NYC when he saw the Sam Goody store ablaze with lights at 11PM. He was all excited.
He strolled up to the clerk & tried to be very nonchalant while asking for Jimi Hendrix records.
The clerk pointed to the two guys looking at records in the back part of the big store, the only other people in the store, & said, 'That's him'.
My son went beserk. He was yelling, 'MOM, JIMI, MOM!' Then he regained some composure & introduced me to him.
Jimi was very gracious. He talked to us for about 15 minutes & signed the album. It was a memorable moment.
Today, John is CEO of an on-line educational org. & a very accomplished guitar & mandolin player with an extensive collection of rare guitars.
He writes music & performs at open mics around the Seattle Area.
His daughter, Gennie Gebhart, used to perform with him,
is on YouTube with a Seattle Symphony-sponsored young peoples group called Vocal Point,
& has the same birthdate as Jimi Hendrix & you."
