Today, Cathy and I met Pat Musick for a preview of the Archie Musick home which will be on the Historic Preservation Alliance tour program this summer. Pat, Archie’s daughter, is also an artist/teacher and just a lovely person. She welcomed us into the home in which she grew up and to which she has returned to restore. Archie built it between two huge boulders, parts of which pierce the walls to decorate the interior.
Archie, a major fixture at the Broadmoor Art Academy, arrived at a great time to make great art and hung out with all the local greats: Charles Bunnell, Randal Davey, Lew Tilley, Boardman Robinson, Larry Heller, Tabor Utley, Lloyd Moylan, et al.
Pat gave us a copy of Archie’s Memoir, Musick Medley as we left. It’s a great thing that Pat is willing to let Cathy plan this tour.
