Don't know if you've heard this yet, but rick Wright died today at 65 from cancer.
Very sad times of course. As a tribute, shall we consider some of his best songs and contributions? ------------- Blue Lights Are Better |

I seriously had to check this up before replying, I can't believe what I just heard.. 
Gonna put on a Floyd album as a tribute to him later today. May you rest in peace!

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Thanks for the magic, Rick.

Very saddening news  Great Gig In The Sky and Us And Them are two of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard. No less impressive is his work on Wish You Were Here or Echoes. Broken China also includes some very touching work. |

No offense to anyone saying something in Wright's memory, but three topics about the news were already opened...(NOT including the Appreciation Thread). -------------
