Just wanted to say thank you for all of your kind and sup­portive mes­sages.
It’s been a com­fort over the last few weeks to know how much Rick was respected, loved and admired.
We will all miss him ter­ribly.

    I was a bit of a Floyd late comer, dur­ing the 80’s /​ 90’s I had the blink­ers on to say the least. When I con­nected with Floyd in the 00’s it was Rick I admired the most. The under­stated beauty in his work is amaz­ing. Listening to Us & Them for the first time, what struck was the chord pro­gres­sion /​ har­mony from the piano.….… Gig in the Sky another. It was clear Rick had very sophis­ti­cated taste (the Miles Davis Kind of Blue ref­er­ences were ter­rific), and hard to believe he was self taught. From what I have read about him and seen of him in inter­views he was most def­i­nitely the kind of per­son I would respect and admire as a musi­cian and human being. Very sadly missed.

    You’re wel­come, Guy.

  3. Bob Sheldon - October 22, 2008 11:12 PM

    I learned to play piano by lis­ten­ing to Rick. He was a gen­tle soul and will be missed.

  4. phil lloyd - October 23, 2008 9:56 PM

    Guy

    Thanks for pro­vid­ing the plat­form. We did not know him, but feel that we did.

    A gen­tle soul indeed.

  5. Paul Sexton - October 23, 2008 11:05 PM

    Nice to see you back, Guy!
    I hope the Wright/​Pratt Family are well
    Cheers

    Hi Guy

    All of you are still in my thoughts and prayers. I thought I would share this with you.

    When I was ten years old, my big brother intro­duced to Pink Floyd via his vinyl copy of “Dark Side of the Moon.” That was 1974. I instantly became mes­mer­ized with “The Pink Floyd Sound.” Over the years, Pink Floyd has had numer­ous lyric­sists (David, Richard, Syd, Roger, Polly, et al.).

    But to me, Pink Floyd always had one sound. That gui­tar and the grind of that organ were unmis­tak­able. You could hear it, and you kwew instantly who that band was. I never got to see The Floyd until the DSOT tour (twice) and the DB tour (twice). What a thrill. (The bass was awe­some in all four shows that I attended… I hope that makes you smile.)

    When I heard that David was going to fly across The Pond to sup­port the release of OAI, and I saw who was going to be sup­port­ing him, I called my big brother and asked, “Can I repay a favor? Can I take you on a day-trip to Chicago?” I treated him with tick­ets, air­fare and hotel as a “Thank You.” We attended the first show at The Rosemont Theater.

    The two most mov­ing moments of that evening: David with his fake for­get­ful­ness, “Oh, and on the key­boards…. Mr. Reeeshard Wright.” (The “Standing O)… And then to expe­ri­ence “Echoes” live. We both were chok­ing back tears

    Just thought I would share some thouhghts.

    I still don’t know what to say. It good to see you back here, Guy.

  9. Bran - October 31, 2008 7:26 PM

    Cheers man!

    Good luck with the Aussie shows!

    p.s. — I’m still await­ing some Floyd/​near Floyd activ­ity in Croatia…
    You or/​and David would have a hel­lowa crowd here.

  10. Elena - November 1, 2008 11:36 PM

    You’re wel­come.
    I’ve not yet real­ize what is happened…I can only imag­ine how it is dif­fi­coult for you and your fam­ily.
    Every time I play Pink Floyd songs, I think about our beloved Rick and I have shiv­ers, because I know He will lives in my heart for­ever with his mag­i­cal music!I’ve learnt to play piano with him…
    Thanks to use this site to speak with us!
    With love
