The Jeffersons is a family band from Albuquerque, New Mexico, consisting of Terry and his three daughters, Dixie, Molly, and Clarabelle. Terry is tone deaf and the daughters’ only musical education stems from calling customer service numbers and listening to music on hold. Eventually, the family’s landline was terminated, after they had accrued a debt of more than $51,000 in unpaid bills. Terry maintains a positive attitude, “It’s still cheaper than tuition at Juilliard.” The strange story made it into a local newspaper and Terry became celebrated for his unorthodox pedagogical approach.
