It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of Roger “Syd” Barrett, founder of Pink Floyd.

I’ve been a great fan of Pink Floyd… RIP Syd, we all love you :(
yes, been listening to piper at the gates of dawn. to think of all the great songs he wrote and all the great songs that were about him and all the artists he influenced.
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
I listened to Wish You Were Here last night in memoriam.
Do you know his solo albums? (Madcap Laughs, Barrett) Strange, simple, sometimes funny songs, with a kind of depression in it, as well. Kurt Cobain in the seventies.
I like this simpleness, I like his songs – strange turn if one thinks that Pink Floyd went right the opposite way.
this just kills me inside to see a rock legend leave like this so unexpectantly but hey we all have to go sometime I guess it was his time to face the “Gates of Dawn” R.I.P Frank and Syd now that would be some cool band right there :>
:-(
The death of Syd struck a chord with me and my mid-month podcast at The Best Radio You Have Never Heard (http://www.bestradiopodcast.com) is a tribute to the great rock visionary.
“Here To Do My Parts” is a tribute to Syd Barrett. Even though of course there is some Pink Floyd music in the show, it is more of a tribute to Syd’s vision. I like to think of it as traveling music for Syd’s iPod as he makes the trek to the Gates of Dawn, or perhaps some gardening music for the great beyond as, in his recent past, gardening was one of Syd’s few hobbies.
Have a listen and let me know what you think.

Hans (his name isn’t Fritz?) was right, the music is repetitive. In fact, in the first two clips, the music is identical…
Let’s see if the 3rd one is the same song.
