From: David J Brooks I decided to make 6 family calendars featuring 4 pictures from the three family weddings that occured in 2010.

RE: OT I;m such a friggin idiot
[...] Even so, Wish you were here has long been my favorite PInk Floyd Album, and possibly my favorite album. The Wall tells a great story, but there is almost an album's worth of great songs, and a little over an album's worth of good songs. I was a massive fan of theirs when I was a teenager. I had all of their albums, singles and solo work, including Syd Barrett's albums and a few bootlegs, but the last album I bought was Animals. After that I found them boring and have never listened to any of the later albums (although I know some of the tracks). I bought some of their albums again 2 or 3 years ago because I'd rediscovered them a bit through Youtube, but I don't listen to them much - maybe once or twice a year. It's an interesting experience because it demonstrates something to me about the deterioration in my hearing - there are notes that I can no longer hear, particularly in the upper registers, but I knew the tracks so well from my younger days that I know the notes are there.

Re: OT I;m such a friggin idiot
Problem solved, i think. I have decided to redo the two that go to my nephew and wife, and my niece and her hubby, with the correct dates. My daughter knows what i'm making and her date is ok, so she is fine with that. I'll keep one of the screwed up ones and give one to my sister. She'll never know, same with the ones for the Grand Parents. Again, I hope. Dave BTW I saw Floyd at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto just as the Dark side of the Moon album was to be released.

From what i remember of it, it was great. I saw the Dark Side of the Moon tour at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester (that's the short version: there's a much longer story I sometimes tell). Then I called my brother (still, at the time, living near London) an told him he had to get to one of the other tour dates (oh, and while he was at it, he should get an extra ticket for me). We caught the show in Brighton. I also saw the Pulse tour in Foxwoods stadium, Massachusetts, and most recently saw the Roger Waters Dark Side Live tour here in California. I've got most of the Floyd albums on 12 vinyl (including one bootleg purchased from Virgin Records back when they were a hole-in-the-wall record store on a Liverpool back street), and most of the CDs too. I'm not sure just how many versions of DSotM that includes, when you factor in the Original Masters variants (on vinyl and CD) as well. And yes, my version is the original (British) Harvest pressing. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Still do, and I'm 53 now. These spikes are starting to get a bit uncomfortable. I was very much fascinated by PF music and the more my English progressed the more so. But then I saw The Wall the movie and effectively I've put PF away for good 10 years. Had a brief come back period not long ago, but that's about it. I have a number (like a dozen may be) of CDs with PF music, but I hardly listen to them. I remember all the fuss and buzz when PF were in Moscow. I don't remember exactly which members of the band were at the time working together, but I remember a classmate from school going to the concert and the light in his eyes when he told the story.
