Grand Music

Yesterday was David Gilmour's birthday. He's 60 years young. The new album is going to go thru the roof. The new album? On an Island. Who is David Gilmour you ask? Ever listen to Pink Floyd? How about Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here? Graham Nash and David Crosby sing on some tracks. Wow! How's that for backup singers?!?!




This album was recorded in his Thames River houseboat/studio and the orchestra tracks were laid down at Abbey Roads. Thinking back, I have been listening to Mr. Gilmour and the other Floydites all of my adult life. What tremendous musicians. Alas, never seen any of them in concert. I hope that changes.

Check out the neat video on David's site. Hats off to a major influence in modern music!
