Thanks, Tico, didn't notice that.

Well done Walter for noticing that Syd had died as it didn't get much notice back home in the UK when it happened. Would you believe not even a "Special" on TV.

RIP Syd.

A true innovator!

{Such people should be recognised> Syd really started something> We still hear See Emily Play all three time on UK oldies stations}.

Memorial for Syd
The muse has passed. Pink Floyd is, imho, one of the leading psychedelia bands to hit the mind's of millions. Syd, or Roger, was the muse that sparked a musical phenomena which has echoed for the last 40 years and will continue to do so.

Much luv and happiness to Syd.

Syd was and is recognized by those who knew him and of him. He was responsible for the genesis of Pink Floyd, and the bands evolution thus far.We can remember him and his music as with anyone we choose to acknowledge for innovation in any field. Spread his music and be wary of the trappings to which he succomed early in his career. Much of the Wish You Were Here album was dedicated to Syd, and I feel that The Wall was based loosely on his life as well. Another person to hopefull look forward to meeting in "The Great Gig in the Sky". Oh oh ooooh oh oh ooooooooooooooooh oh oh ohoh.
