Hello Terry, really an honor to hook up with you!

The news is hot for Frontiers Records releasing your brand new solo album, "Diamond Blue". Really, how did you come in agreement with them? We're talking about the most proper label handling this release, anyway

Have you inked deal with any other label for the distribution of "Diamond Blue" in other territories as well or Frontiers will handle the promotion worldwide?

Late August (mainly) and early September is a 'dead period' for many fans(holidays etc), so I bet you will have to wait a little bit for some feedback from the Media and fans, right? Or you do not usually search for who's saying what for an album you write or participate?

"Diamond Blue" is your second solo album, with "Back To Eden" looking from nine years far behind. Is this a confirmation of you releasing a solo CD only when you think you have something to say or your time schedule was that heavy you did not find the time for a second solo album?

Not willing to fall into the comparison trap (it's been many years anyway), you believe fans of your early solo work can stick to the second album's atmosphere or it's some kind of a requirement to have someone attached to your deeds with all the bands you participated to in the between years to understand your current philosophy?

Tell us a little bit about the friends (I already read 'bout Mike Slamer) that helped you in the making of "Diamond Blue" plus some critical points in the rehearsing/recording sessions that probably fans of your work would like to know. Were there any stressful periods or everything rolled well?

"Diamond Blue" - to my ears - has the perfect balance of both dynamic rockers and also more sentimental stuff. Are you the same kind of person, really, once ready to rock hard but also (at other times) becoming quite emotional? I always loved this double profile status in artists like you, needless to say.

"The Rain" or "Broken" or "Young Again" brought up an 'I can relate to these lyrics' feeling to me, to be honest. Are there any songs in the tracklist with some kind of an auto-biographic content? Do you like speaking about yourself in the songs/lyrics you write? Many musicians like to leave a fuzzy picture with their songs so that the listener can draw own conclusions. Is this a song's aim in general, you think?

Have you felt you're close to being repetitive in your songwriting? Is there a personal formula you've established for laying down tracks?

Are going to tour in support of your new CD? Are there any dates fixed as we speak? Do you like touring or you'd present yourself as the "studio" type of musician?

A couple of questions related to your discography as a band member, now: first of all, how much of a good experience was the latest GIANT album? I admit I was thoughtful against a lineup not (fully) featuring Dan Huff but…it's a nice album, damn it! You enjoyed this CD?

As for STRANGEWAYS: the band's been announced for this year's 'FireFest' (UK), right? Should we assume a full comeback or it's just a reunion show? Which lineup should we expect onstage, by the way?

Would like to ask you a hundred questions Terry, but let's save you some time, haha! Honestly, thanx a lot for your time to answer our dozen of questions. Hope all the best for you, your newest CD and all your plans in the future!
