Roy Richardson, bassist for Messenger from Summer '08 to Fall '12, retires from the band. We all hate to see him go. He sites freeing up his time and looking into other types of music as reasons for leaving. His contributions to Messenger are appreciated and we will miss his humor and remember his commitment. Frank points out, "Roy is usually the last one to leave when it comes to loading gear in and out. He's just like that. He understands the work it takes to make this happen." His extensive knowledge of rock music history has always added perspective to decisions made in the group. His bass work will never be thought of as anything other than art.
