   I got really rot­ten seats, but nev­er­mind.… I hope you’ll see it from the stage 🙂
   If the weather is nice on that day, you should really go to one of the caf­fees on the river bank, or on the sava lake…hope you’ll have a good time here (but I doubt you’ll be here for more than a cou­ple of hours)
   see you soon 🙂

   oh, and one more thing…do try the local plum brandy, it’s the best in the world.…we have one bot­tle ready for you (don’t worry, we are not going to throw it on the stage 🙂 )

   Goddammit 🙂
   I will gladly drive all away from Sarajevo to Belgrade or even Zagreb, but at mon­day 8:00 AM must be at job, too bad the show is at sun­day. If it’s on saturday…heh, some­day maybe.

   If you have time to write, i would like to know any details (if there is any) about “skip­pin’ out” Sarajevo/​Bosnia? Did any­one try to make any arrange­ments for/​from Bosnia, or con­tact any­body?

   Guy
   Just read the book, and can’t believe the coin­ci­dences!
   My first bass was an Aira Pro II, I got mar­ried on the same day as your first Pink Floyd gig, the first CD I bought was Bete Noire, my first sin­gle (with my own money) Hey Little Girl, I’ve seen you so many times with­out real­is­ing it was you! Floyd at Knebworth 1990, Earls Court in 94 AND McFly came to my house last year and men­tioned you whilst we chat­ted! (thanks to Ant and Dec).
   Now, can I have your auto­graph please? I have a mas­sive col­lec­tion framed on my toi­let wall (see the web­site). Only the crème de la men­the make it (Beatles, Neil Finn, De Niro etc). Love to have yours if you can help out.… (if I send you my address OR if you’re ever in Cheshire)

    After more than two month wait­ing, I HAVE THE BOOK!

    Thank you for you answer Mr Pratt but I did­n’t mean Belgrade… Just Belgium, my lit­tle coun­try… There is a nice place there to play in a town called Anvers (I have seen David Bowie in con­cert there… And my father have seen Roger Waters there too…) I don’t know if you know this place, per­harps have you already play there…

    So I leave you now! I have a book to read!

    Thank you again Mr Pratt for good music!

    I checked out the tour dates, but to my great­est sor­row I did­n’t see Hungary… how­ever I’d have been really happy to make you sign the por­trait (or to present it to you) what I drew about you. I hope there will be oppor­tu­nity to meet you some­day!

    Best wishes dear Guy, have a safe jour­ney!

    Hello Guy;
    First up. Great book, and what bet­ter man to fly the flag in the defense of the bass player. We met late one night in Adelaide, South Australia on the Floyd tour. Actually you wanted to buy my 1970 P‑Bass and Maton fret­less as I recall. Anyway, one remark that you said to me that evening has stuck in my head ever since. You said the 63 Jazz that you bought was the first bass that actu­ally said “ Daddy Daddy “ to your good self. Well it wasn’t until finally got myself an early 60’s J‑Bass that I knew what you meant. They are amaz­ing beasts ! Thanks for the advice, thanks for the tick­ets, and thanks for the book. All the best with your future musi­cal adven­tures.

    Hi Guy,

    I just watched the Abbey Road ses­sion on Sundance Channel (thank you Mr. Redford). I did a max vol­ume trial on my tele­vi­sion. Luckily, it is a good one, because the room vibrated in nat­ural fre­quency with your bass with­out blow­ing speak­ers or rat­tling.

    It felt so good to be wowed by the genre of music that is time­less amidst all of the com­ings and goings of peo­ple try­ing their fine hearts out to improve upon some­thing that is pure.

    I wore out sev­eral LPs of Dark Side of the Moon until some­one invented CDs (thanks to them also).

    And, most of all, thank you from a Canadian ex-pat liv­ing in Savannah, Georgia…close to heaven.

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Cheers
