W.I.P. Richard Wright

It is a sad day for music fans. Richard Wright, a founding member of Pink Floyd, passed away today. I grew up to Pink Floyd's music. Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall defined my high school years.  He co-wrote Shine On You Crazy Diamond, I've listened to it a thousand time. It is one of a handful of songs I can play in my head without actually hearing the  music.

Everybody dies - so very few leave anything of value behind. Thanks for the memories, the music, and concerts that blew my mind. Shine on...
