Today is a sad day indeed for the music world as we've lost one of the great rock keyboard players, Richard Wright.  This also ends any hope for a full Pink Floyd reunion, which probably wouldn't have happened anyway.

I've been a huge Pink Floyd fan since a friend gave me a copy of The Wall in 9th grade.  I quickly started amassing a collection of tapes from my local used music store.  Wish You Were Here, Animals, Delicate Sound of Thunder, on and on, then finally Dark Side of the Moon.  I'm not sure why I got that album so late in my Floyd loving career but once I got a copy I was hooked.  In my opinion Dark Side is the greatest rock album ever recorded and it might be the greatest album of all time.  I've probably listened to that album 10 times more than any other album in my life.  I've been fortunate enough to get to see Wright play with Floyd a few times and each time it's been an almost religious experience.  A truly amazing musician who will be sadly missed.
