Greeitngs Mister Moto andeveryone,

Bought my  LP of "Ummagumma" in 1969 at age 14 (almost 15).
Played it on my parents'console hi-fi late at night.
I played and played "SetThe Controls For The Heart Of The Sun,"
until I chose to recordonto cassette .
 

Got my dad pissed once whenI cranked the volume of the scream
in "Careful With That AxeEugene." Was careful not to "Meddle"
with  P.F. music henceforth. Was relegated to  :
"A saucer full of milk"for the cat.....

Ummagumma was my first exposureof P.F.'s use of Mellotron.
Shortly later on I discoveredthe previous LP's .

There might be another re-releaseof Pink Floyd material in
different CD-DVD versionsas tribute (a.k.a. marketing) to
Syd's passing.

Another "old-timer" to note.The Tron-Meister Mike Pinder
will turn 65 this Decemberof  2006.

"One Of These Days" ,   I'll see 'yas on the "Dark Side of the
Moon."  Heh-heh !   Sorry, a  "Momentary Lapse Of Reason. "
Gotta " Run Like Hell ",as I'm "Learning To Fly."
 

Cheers, - the lunatic onthe grass
