I knew Skip Massey earlier and better than I would have if I hadn't been Hansell's roommate. I first met Skip when he showed up at our room one day with his guitar. He and Tony had been buddies before we all convened on the rock pile. They had fished, picked guitar, and done things together for what seemed like decades, from the stories they told. Through those lean years, Massey and Hansell and Blitch (and a couple of now-forgotten others) entertained me and everyone within earshot, and taught us all that you can get more than music out of a guitar. I was only one of the many who discovered Skip's virtuosity. As far as I know, he never took a music lesson, but there was nothing ever made with strings on it -- from a mandolin to a gut bucket -- that Skip Massey couldn't play. Even a heart. Good fishing over there, Skip, and good pickin. Save us a place. Chuck |
