I, too, will miss Nige. The music, fun, and laughter he provided me on and off stage have and will last me for my lifetime. The stories we could (and couldn't) tell, eh, Spanky?
Sure am gonna miss him. One of the greatest story tellers i knew. ALways funny, laid back and a pure joy to play and hang around with. R.I.P my old friend.
@Goosey042688 Relax!! Nigel is fine and still as sharp as fuckin' tack. He is currently residing in an assisted living retirement facility and in no way, shape or form, is in ill health! I know this 'cause I see him every morning. Thanks for yer concern!!!!
Nigel's definitely alive and well and sounds great...they told us he was 82 years old...never could tell...heard him in St. Augustine last Friday night 9/18/2010
I hope you read this Nigel. Of all my most unforgettable characters who have crossed my career path, you're up there at the top, looking down at all of 'em. What I learned from playing & touring with you could never be measured in words. Your influence on a 19 year old me was enormous. Yep, it certainly is "Surprising how time slips away."

RIP Nigel Pickering. Left us May 5, 2011. Was dearly loved by so many in St Augustine and beyond, and will not be forgotten.

Yep. That's Spanky. I understand they have gone into the studio together recently. Let's hope it gets finished as it will be a true treasure.
