"Skippy" is one of Buster's quintessential compositions, with an open G minor tuning. It's full of groove, great melody, aggression, and a energetic driving feel, full of powerful dynamics. After writing the tune he titled it after the only food he could afford as a budding musician, "Skippy" peanut butter. It incorporates a funky take on the alternating bass technique, double stops, and banjo rolls. The original was recorded on Buster's (Brad's) early solo album "Live at Five" and years later Thom Bresh and Buster recorded the song on their album "Guts and Steel."
