pink floyd, pre-gilmour, is just not my cup-o-tea. i am sure it was great for mid-sixties flower children. to me, it is, mostly, silly and lacks depth. after waters took over and gilmour started contributing, their music gained philosophical weight and personal insight of waters angst re. WWII and his upbringing. IMO. YMMV.

David Gilmour is a frigging God

nynor 07-26-2012 09:08 AM

well, he is a knight, at the very least.... :)

Rick V 07-26-2012 09:11 AM

Yup and his weapon is an axe. :D
I have tried to play his music, and even though I can play the notes I can not make the music

nynor 07-26-2012 09:15 AM

oh, never mind. it is just a CBE.

One of the guys I met at the Roebling Road race track last year in Georgia had a 87 Carrera that he bought new. He had converted his Carrera to a mostly track car. It was still street legal, but the suspension had solid bushings & stiff shocks and torsion bars. It had a roll cage and the other things necessary for doing a track day weekend on a regular basis. He was a CPA and his wife was a CPA and they owned their own accounting business. He said he had kept track of every penny he had spent on the car since day one. He had over 200,000 miles on it and he had rebuilt the engine twice. He had close the 1/4 million in it after all the years. That is an expensive hobby.

At least your tools can earn you a living with you twisting on them. :cool:

OMG. that is a LOT of money. i could buy all the equipment needed for a brewery with about that much $.

Watching that interview with Waters proves beyond a doubt, You can play Gilmour's notes but not his music. I have never heard anybody who can.

nynor 07-26-2012 09:47 AM

yup. he describes how he just got out of the way of the music. very interesting.

nynor 07-26-2012 09:47 AM

okay. i gotta get out of the house. time to take pictures of storefronts.

GH85Carrera 07-26-2012 04:20 PM
