It seems like just the other day that Terry called and arranged to drive down from Indianapolis (where Dr. Parrish lives and has his practice) yet it has been 17 years. Terry is an active collector of ragtime sheet music and that was the focus of his trip, but this old Wurlitzer coin piano caught his eye. I got it out of a chicken house in Switzerland County, Indiana and it was twice destroyed. Mechanically, I was able to do a passable restoration, but as a hand playable piano, it was stiff as a board and had never been played. This is Terry's one attempt and he did an excellent job considering. No one has attempted to play it since. Terry Parrish serves two ragtime roles; one as collector and ragtime soloist, and the other as a founding member of the Elite Syncopators, a ragtime trio/quartet from Indianapolis.
