I never miss an opportunity to learn something new... One day back in 1998 a fellow by the name of Jeff Wall posted a plea for help to Skynyrd Frynds for an ailing musician named Roy Nichols who had suffered a stroke in 1996... here is archived Skynyrd Frynds post #141 dated 12-3-1998:
Just recieved this and thought you folks might be interested. Ronnie was a big Hag fan.
Hello,
Because you are a fan of Country Music, we have special favor to ask of
you. We want you to help Roy Nichols.
Roy Nichols has spent a lifetime doing what he does best picking the
guitar. In 50 years of playing the guitar, he's preformed with many
of Country music's greatest stars. Merle Haggard, Lefty Frizzel, Johnny
Cash, Willie Nelson, Marty Robbins, Buck Owens, Johnny Paycheck, Faron
Young, Billy Mize, Maddox Bros.& Rose, Smiley Maxidon, Wynn Stewart,
Cousin Herb Hensen along with countless others, used the visionary guitar
of Roy Nichols.
Roy is the man responsible for Merle's distinctive sound... His guitar
riffs are universally acknowledged as being cutting edge during the 50s,
60s, & 70s... Roy is the Man! THE guitar man...
In February of 1996, Roy Nichols suffered a stroke leaving him partically
paralized and unable to do the one thing he loved more than anything else,
play the guitar. "I can't play the guitar physically, but I still play
it mentally everyday", Roy says.
To help Roy and his family with the high medical cost, we ask that you
help by ordering the CD tribute to Roy Nichols.
The CD "To Roy Nichols With Love" is produced by Kathy Robertson.
Guest performers include James Intveld, Rosie Flores, Bonnie Owens,
Chris Gaffney, the Derailers, and others...
