Now he is playing in the Great Gig in the Sky..
Time to spin up Dark Side of the Moon...
I hope David Gilmour keeps creating good stuff, The Island was one of his best, and really puts you back into the Pink Floyd that I remember, and who gives a tinkers cuss about Roger Waters anyway..
Richard Wright was the Soul of the band.
