Terry Edward Draper is a Canadian musician who was the drummer and one of three songwriters for the 1970s progressive rock band Klaatu.〔Brown, Dan (April 4, 2000). "When the music's over: Rock and roll is a vicious game, but not half as rough as what comes next – as a handful of Canada's former rock gods can attest", ''National Post'', p. B10.〕 == Career == Before becoming a successful musician, Draper had a construction business with a speciality in roofing.〔 Draper co-wrote the song "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft", which was not only successful with his band Klaatu, but it also became a Top-40 hit, when The Carpenters re-made it in 1977.〔Feniak, Peter (November 21, 1995). "The band Beatlemania made, then crushed", ''The Globe and Mail'', p. D1.〕 Draper also co-wrote the Klaatu song "December Dream" in 1981, which was a tribute to John Lennon. He went on to record several solo albums in his home studio in Oak Ridges, Ontario after the break-up of the band in 1981. His former Klaatu bandmates Dee Long and John Woloschuk made appearances on his album ''Light Years Later'', in 1997.〔Ankeny, Jason. "(Terry Draper: Biography )", Allmusic. Retrieved January 19, 2011.〕 Later on in the 1980s he returned to his roofing business, and then developed a career as a restaurateur alongside his continued music work.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terry Draper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
