At least he is free of his maddness.

At least his legacy lives on and his artwork.

Syd...my childhoodhero...are you now in our phantasy-land...with Bonzo and John-the-Beatle...? I will meet you in my dreams at night...and we'll do long expeditions along the Spooky-River down in Ghostieland...and watch for Flashcrashmushrooms and Squeekymeowzes...

This looks great Keith!

I bought a new guitar amp and mic this week that I'm loving. I'm going to learn a couple of Syd songs tonight and have a few drinks in his honor (or is that honoUr for my friends in the mother country

).

Does anyone know a good site for Syd / Floyd tabs and chords? I use this one - http://www.pinkfloyd-co.com/band/tab/tab_idx.html

"Old musicians never die...they just decompose."

Rest in peace, Roger.

(Syd already died a long, long time ago.)

I notice it was the last item on CBCs 5oclock news report
they even played a snippet of Astronomy Domine
at least all those CBC listeners now know who Syd was

CNN did a ten-second thing about it. Hearing the CNN logo rotate past as the opening of "Great Gig In The Sky" played was bone-chilling, and the rest of the report was comprised of a still from the post-contract dance in '67. The song really has new meaning to me now, although I wish they'd included one of his songs.

A night of listening to PATGOD + "Jugband Blues" (this one might cause me to loose it!!) is in order!
