Spencer was a no nonsense, totally dependable, bass playing steward of this planet with a list of recording engineering, performance and producing credits that he would hardly, if ever, talk about. He loved his girlfriend, Lynne. He loved his dogs and his land. He relished being self-sufficient in water and electricity (Bee Creek Studios is 100% solar powered). He was building a swimming pool for his dog, Tango, when he died.
Spencer left behind a rich legacy of Austin music in the archives of his Bee Creek Studio. Not only much of the Fable Records catalogue but of many other Austin Artists as well. He has three GRAMMYs to his name and a myriad of other accolades that he never talked about. Making great music, playing golf and going out on his boat with Lynne and the dogs - that's what Spencer loved most.
