Now for "The Great Gig in the Sky"

I had occasion to cross paths with David Gilmore's father via work back in the 80s. Quite a gentleman.

I might have to load "Dominoes" into my iPod tonight.
I was always a big Syd fan.

Maybe the piper at the gates of dawn?
To: Skooz
I know one of their later big songs was written about Syd Barrett, but those brain cells of mine were killed long ago...maybe it was Welcome to the Machine.

His song titles still send a chill up my spine.

I believe "Comfortably Numb" was written with Syd in mind.

Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon,
You cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night,
And exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome
With random precision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
(Rest in peace, Mr. Barrett)

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say...

Probably the best imitation of Barrett-era Floyd was from XTC (as The Dukes of Stratosphear) on "Chips From the Chocolate Fireball."
