Very sad news indeed. Thanks Syd, for creating one of the greatest bands in the history of music. I hope your "Great Gig In The Sky" is everything you wish it to be...

This song became a family sing-a-long on a car trip home from rafting in PA. I will always remember my children's sun burned but smiling faces as they sang along. They particularly liked "Gerald"

Thanks Syd, for that very warm memory...and alot of great songs...

Bike

I've got a bike.
You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings,
and things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things.

I've got a cloak, it's a bit of a joke.
There's a tear up the front, it's red and black,
I've had it for months.
If you think it could look good then I guess it should.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things

I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house.
I don't know why I call him Gerald .
He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things.

I've got a clan of gingerbread men.
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.
Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things

I know a room full of musical tunes.
Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork.

Let's go into the other room and make them work...

Shine On Syd,

Your Fan,

Matt

A friend sent me text message telling me and then I come online and its everywhere.

I can't believe I shed a tear for someone I had never met.

For the first time Wish You Were Here made me cry.

I need to play Shine On now.

SHINE ON

I am crushed. It always amazes me how emotional we can get at the passing of someone whom we've never even met. Such is the power of great art.

Wouldn't you miss me at all?"

Tears in my eyes....
