Laugh if you want to, really is kinda funny, 'cause the world is a car and you're the crash test dummy.

That is sad news. It is always a sad day when a musician passes, because they give their life and soul toward entertaining and inspiring us all.

It is unfathomable how many were inspired by Wright and Floyd. He left behind a gift that I and many others will enjoy for our lifetime.

Thank you
God Bless, RIP

Watch this.

I am truly saddened by this. He had a huge influence on my playing. I Always thought that he had the 'sexiest' hammond/leslie sound in rock'n'roll...

Shine on...

His sound was definitely one of a kind, that is for sure. He left a legacy that will be hard to follow.
