Probably the nicest man I ever met. He was "for real" nice, not just for show. Imagine the smile he has now! _________________ Fergy, MSA Classic D12, MSA Classic S10, Peavey Session 500 |

I first gained an MSA in the early 90's, i had never seen one before that up close to sit at, Sho buds and Emmons was all i knew. The M.S.A classic XL in blue maple was a rolls royce for me right off the bat, once i knew Maurice Anderson was part of M.S.A, i bought it immediatley. I set out to learn all i could about this great company, had some back and forth emails with Maurice regarding parts, and dates of manufacture etc. I still read Maurices life story book some night before sleep, wonderful reads indeed. I also bumped into/met MRS Anderson on stage last year, i was playing at a western swing convention in Oklahoma, wonderful people indeed. _________________ A.K.A Chappy. |

Everything said in this post is true. He was a precious human being inside and out. We were not close but were Brother Masons. The first time I met other Maurice was after he and Tommy opened their shop behind a music store at Jefferson Blvd and Tyler street in Dallas. This was in the early sixties. In the mid 70's Maurice got me involved with a parade unit of the Hella Shrine unit called the Westerners band playing steel. What great opportunity give to me playing with some outstanding musicians including Dewey Groom, Artie Glen, Paul Blunt, Jess Hudson, and Johnny Manson. I can't remember all the rest. I kept in contact with Maurice through the years and always looked forward to visiting with he and Jerry Anderson at the steel shows. I still miss those visits to this day. Maurice was a very humble individual. |
