I talked to Reneee today and she is absolutely blown away by all the love and compassion they are receiving from all you good people. She is in shock, in a good way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

What else can we do to help? Do we get the auction machine rolling?

Randy, I was thinking about that last night.

I don't think we'd get a fraction of the kind of response we got in the past, this site doesn't have anywhere near the traffic it used to.

Sad but true.

That was a real concern of mine, however, I knew there would be enough of us old timers still left to at least get something rolling. It worked 😛

I have a few things that might bring a few bucks.

I was thinking about starting ebay auctions and posting the links here so family could bid if they wanted to, but they would also be in front of the world at large.

What do you guys think of that idea?

Yes it did, Clay.

When I ordered my shirt there were only ten left to the target number.

Clay (or anybody) - is the address that now appears in the original message of this thread the correct one?

So very sad to hear of all this. Prayers for Renee and Skip.

Clay - I hope you're doing alright, too. Been a long, log time!

I am waiting on my camera battery to charge, but I will have an ebay sale up today, soon we hope. Since I have an account and good seller rating that may help. I really don't have words on this one, but although a quiet and renegade outlaw kind of guy, I was starting to wonder on his absence for at least his gifts of music to the masses from his wizard hideout..... his love for the music is monumental.

I have six Capt Skipper Remasters. all with his artwork he printed. Sorry they are personalized notation to me on backs. I don't let these loose out of no big deal, and I don't copy them. His gift should move on intact. I keep a couple Duane ones of his is all, but one is included in this mix. Again, all have artwork the Capn put together, front & back. I will do a thread when ebay ad is up with link.

Syria Mosque 10/15/71
Charleston 04/16/73
Atlanta 06/02/73
Macon 09/10/73
Winterland 09/26/73
Santa Barbara 05/26/93

Be a way to help our Capn and get something imprinted with his love in and on it. What he has given this community in terms of the best digital shows will float around to be shared for kingdom come, well, help a Brother please.......

I ordered a shirt. Always remembered how giving Skip was with his Remasters. It is just awesome to see how the music community helps out when a brother or sister is in need. Especially such a giving man like Skip.
My prayers are out for Skip and his Family

Clay, please let Capt Skipper & Renee know I send my love and prayers. Skipper was so kind to me when I was on treatment way back in 2003. He didn't know me other than through this magical website but he sent me some wonderful music that I still listen to and I think of him and his kindness when listening. He is an inspiration to all!

Thanks for keeping us informed Clay.

Love from JodyGirl

Is there a way to make a contribution over the internet beside buying a shirt?

Hey Clay, Thanks for helping out the Captain.

I think Bob was wanting to use aPaypal or credit card on the interwebs sort of thing.
