Rest In Peace, Anonymous Pick. We Lost a Legend.

[Cigar Box Nation]

Just got this email.

This is Valerie, Anonymous Pick’s wife.  I'm saddened to tell you Pick passed away October 11at 5pm.  I wrote to you on another sight so I hope you get this email. He loved all you guys and making his guitars.  Could you please announce this. He asked me to let you know but I couldn't get on Cigar Box Nation.

We just lost a legend. Feel free to post your favorite Pick stories, instrument photos and videos below.  You can also go thru his personal page on here at https://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/theanonymouspick

My heart and prayers go out to you Valerie.

I remember the first time I ran my thumb across all three strings of my swampwitch guitar. It brought a smile to my face. It still makes me smile,,, heck it makes me break out in a big grin. Even now after hearing he has step upstairs I bet we will be hearing angels playing swampwitch guitars.

Aw.   Rest in Peace,  Pick.

This hurts much. A great loss to the whole community.

I'm deeply saddened by this. As a lot of you know I was Pick's biggest fan and have the record of Swampies built by him. Words can't even express what I feel right now. I will do something to honor Pick and talk about the guitars that changed everything for me.

I knew this was coming, but it still hits hard.   Anybody know his full name, age or have a photo?  He would send packages under his wife's name Val something.  Anyone have her last name?  I know she is ill and Pick had been her caregiver - until he couldn't.

R.I.P Pick, you are leaving a big hole to fill. Your generosity of spirit, help and advice to newcomers here at CBN was as good as it gets. I know I'll have a thought or 2 every time I pick up my Swampy for a twang. Deepest commiserations to Val on your ,[and our] loss, regards Darryl.
