Syd Barrett

Gone but still here...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“The piano ain't got no wrong notes.” 

 Man or Monk...it's all good

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blind John Davis

Blues for our friend Mike

Stay cool, stay happy…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Pink Floyd Live in Pompii

If all lost passports led to great things…

 

 

 

From the sublime to the divine...

"Music is the expression of harmony in sound. Love is the expression of harmony in life.”


Before the fire to pass peaceful,
Contented days while the rain outside pours down.

We tread the icy path slowly and cautiously,
for fear of tripping and falling.
Then turn abruptly, slip, crash on the ground

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get back to the past and see what we’re missing. Ladies and Gentlemen the Beatles…

Love and Freedom.

I can be seen with my bowler hat and pipe. Boy was I square. Great days…

Love and well wishes to you humanity. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The endless innovation of the legendary Geoffrey Arnold...

Fragments of Jeff Beck

“I play purely from the heart, y'know, and so if it doesn't work the first couple of hours, forget it.”

“I’ll get a great idea...and it’ll stay there unless somebody comes and drags it out of me!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 “I was going to write an autobiography once…then I thought, ‘No, let them dig around when I’m dead.’”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we have the extraordinary voice of Karen Dalton.

One of a kind. Exquisite in every way. Lucky us.

Whoever she was we feel that we knew her…

“Within these great hopes lays a trembling body, a sleep that reveals buried dreams and a mind that is only human”

“My heart is a jackhammer drilling, tearing up the pavement of people's lives” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other characters slowly emerge…

And now The Band for our friend Mr Perry…

Stay groovy… 

 

Big in every way. We turn to the dead.

The children are grateful…not all are dead...yet…

The joyful spirit continues in us all. The dead music shines on….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 "My imagination plays on me as if I were a clavier. I am really just a living clavier."

 

 

          

Been Here and Gone… 

This is our place for sharing music, art and memories. Large part fiction, a little hokum and the rest is up to you. 

We begin here in the beautiful lands of India and Pakistan.

 

Distant memories of long ago travels...
