  1. Really refreshing not to have to sit through the same interview we've all seen with David a million times, and I'm sure David enjoyed it as well. he has so much more to talk about than just the troubles with the band and Syd and all that stuff. Really cool to finally see him get a chance to do just that. You know he's sick of telling the same stories over and over again- and I'm sure they open old wounds to some degree. It's cool to learn Momentary Lapse of Reason was recorded here- remember how the album opened? With some guy rowing a boat- and there were several other references to rivers and water on the album. I wonder if the places it was recorded had any influence on all that. I'm guessing it did, even if it wasn't conscious on their part.

  2. David Gilmour is a sound-out man, in my opinion. I worked for him as an employee of a Herefordshire based Company, at his grounds, planting a wooldland from scratch some years ago. David was naturally pleasantly engaging with us all, until the day when he gave-out because T was found wandering, unattended, down the drive-way, toward the main road. David naturally assumed that the, 'Keep This Gate Closed', sign on the gate had been ignored and that the gate had been left off it's latch. No-one knew who'd made the error, but we were all gutted. On the following day, David called us all together to offer his sincere apologies. On surveying recorded security camera footage, it transpired that T had climbed the gate on his own: remarkable in itself, considering T's age at that time. That gesture, for us, demonstrated that David was sound-out. I hope that your woodland is doing well David. God bless you and yours👍

  3. Fascinating to hear David talk about making records. The man who has been the biggest inspiration in sonics to so many. Definitely my biggest along with the people who also were a part like Alan Parsons, Rick Wright, etc
