Beautiful Prog Music On A Thursday.

 I found the following You Tube video yesterday featuring David Gilmour and his daughter Romany.  I can't stop playing the track over and over again.

I have seen Roger Waters live performing the Wall.  Snowy White was his guitarist who I saw way back in 1981 with Thin Lizzy on their Renegade tour.  I wish I had seen Pink Floyd in their prime.

David Gilmour discovered Kate Bush and recorded her magical voice.  All these years later I think he's found another Prog Rock star in his daughter.  Superlative words like masterpiece  and Magnum Opus (Kansas  song title) come to my mind.  I would love to see them at a festival like A New Day or Cropredy next year.  Enjoy:



Did I see you playing your "air guitar" or was it the house brush🎸?

  1. Haunting song and video. I saw Pink Floyd perform "Dark Side of the Moon" at Knebworth Park in 1975 and I briefly met Dave Gilmour on the island of Rhodes in 1978.

  2. I love Pink Floyd. DG sold his posh house in London and donated the proceeds (3 million+( to the homeless charity: CRISIS. Roger Waters is the only Pink Floyd member I have seen live. They are both my prog heroes. I think the track today is beautiful. Thanks for your comment YP.

  4. There is nothing to forgive JayCee. I thought this post would get lots of comments. Bloggers don't seem to appreciate Prog music.

 I went for a five mile saunter the other day or even last week.  It was a lovely calm day and a enjoyable Autumn walk.  What a difference a...
