Wish you were here
So, today a member of what I can safely call my favorite band in the world died. This member was the one I also held in the highest regard of the four, as he seemed to have the fewest ego issues. And, he was the keyboardist, which always piques my interest. I’m talking about Rick Wright.
I own every Pink Floyd album except for The Division Bell, and a whole lot of RoIOs as well. The most played Pink Floyd song on my iPod is a track off Atom Heart Mother entitled "Summer ‘68." In 15 years of life, I’ve only met two people that know it without me telling them of it. Wright composed this song, and I play it on the piano A LOT. (when I don’t have a broken arm.) The first piece out of my fingers when my arm is nonbroken and does not epically fail at piano will be that.
I have to make this a short one, because I have to go to bed. Nevertheless, Rick will be missed by me and I’m sure, many others. Shine on.
