How strange to see them so old and I myself too. I remember buying Ummagumma when I was 12 years old thinking "wow I really had found an inspiration. I was alone then and am now as well. I think the Floyd's music filled that space in human history telling us how it really was and being "undercover" . I left USA in 2006 and strangely I heard Sid had died, I finally left and did too.

He never had a good voice anyway. There's a reason why David sang lead on most of the classic Floyd-songs (or Roy Harper singing "Have a cigar" instead of Roger.)

You aren't alone my friend! There's a vast community of people who feel the same way, just reach out and say hello!

Check out my rendition of Grantchester Meadows from Ummagumma on my channel and see if I did it any justice. I grew up with their music as well!

Peace

Consistently bitter, lately expressing it by adding Israel-bashing to his large number of shoulder chips.
