I am at a loss for words. Some of the best times in my teen years were spent seeing and jamming with music from "the Floyd".

"Oh by the way whick one's pink?"

He was a great musician, a visionary unafraid to try new things and directions. Of course, the drugs and psychedelics pushed them to new dimensions, but they managed tp survive unscathed. (all for the exception of Syd Barrett, who ended up ina mantal hospital)


I think he was knighted by the queen along with some other members.

To you I say, Sir Richard Wright:

"Shine on you Crazy Diamond"



Pink Floyd member Richard Wright dies at age 65

LONDON (AP) -- A Pink Floyd spokesman says founding member Richard Wright has died. He was 65.
Wright died Monday after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. His family did not want to give more details about his death. The spokesman is Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist.
Richard Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason at college and joined their early band Sigma 6.
Sigma 6 eventually became Pink Floyd and Wright wrote and sang some of the band's key songs. He wrote "The Great Gig In The Sky" and "Us And Them" from Pink Floyd's 1973 "The Dark Side of the Moon."
He left the group in the early 1980s to form his own band but rejoined Pink Floyd for their 1987 album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason."
