What Inspires Terry Halsey?
Terry filmed my songs Jungle and Comin' Back To Me while I was at Union SQ. We chatted about what he calls "Authentic Human Gesture," very compelling. "We're always unaware of how we might be impacting other people." His inspiration and a great NYC tip: "Tutuma Social Club" 56th St @ Lexington Ave where the afro-jazz Peruvian music is '"r-r-rockin."
Here's his clip of my song Jungle:
