Great Gig in the Sky

One of Pink Floyd's founding members, keyboardist Richard Wright, died 3 days ago of cancer. I only found out about it today (thanks Jim).

He was 65.

I was saddened when the Floyd broke up, but found solace in the fact that Richard played with David Gilmour on his latest solo album, even touring with the band. Unfortunately, now their work together has ended.

The playlist now sports classic Pink Floyd - in memory of Rick.

That is sad news. Too young. 65 doesn't seem that old to me anymore.
Thanks for the play list. I haven't heard "Dogs" in quite a while.
