Notable music history.
This week, we lost someone who helped create a new sounding rock n roll industry. Richard Wright passed away at the age of 65 on Monday September 15th, 2008, losing his battle with cancer. Richard Wright was a founding member of the mega popular English band Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd has helped create the music we listen to today, and are very worthy of being one of the best bands ever. Albert Gifts is certainly raising a lighter for this lost musician.
Also another need to mention name in the music industry is Jimi Hendrix. He died 38 years ago today(9/18/70). Jimi Hendrix died of speculated Heroin use, and also helped create the rock and roll industry that is present today. His was most famous for songs as “All Along The Watchtower”, “Purple Haze”, and “The Star Spangled Banner” at Woodstock in 1969.
So please remember, the two magnificent musicians that we have lost this week and honor them by playing music from their collection.
Rest in Peace.
