Shameless sea
Aimlessly so blue
Midnight-moon shines for you
Still, marooned
Silence drifting through
Nowhere to choose
Just blue...
Ceaselessly
Star-crossed you and me
Save our souls
We'll be forever blue
Waves roll
Lift us in blue
Drift us
Seep right through
And colour us blue
Wait for me
Shameless you, the sea
Soon, the Blue
So soon...
Soon, the Blue
So soon...
-Music: The Blue by David Gilmour

“What you ask, was the beginning of it all?
And it is this …
Existence that multiplied itself for sheer delight of being
And plunged into numberless trillions of forms
So that it might find itself innumerably”
- Sri Aurobindo
Doing some indoor practice/homework for the final week of my macro course I stole an idea that I’d seen a beautiful example of by the always inspiring Judi May, that is reflections in a spoon.
Called “Fractal Spoon” because the teaspoon is sitting on top of one of my favourite books, "The Colours of Infinity: The Beauty and Power of Fractals" - proving that I am a geeky mathematics nerd once and for all :-)
This book is based on a lovely TV show which is also available on YouTube and has a soundtrack featuring music by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour (my favourite band and favourite guitarist).
You can see it here if you are a geeky mathematics nerd too —> www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoHGlBpFkHY
If you just like to listen to a rather beautiful medley (in high-definition sound) of some of the beautiful David Gilmour music from the soundtrack listen here —> www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC_7rMdA7gs - it truly is gorgeous.
The opening quote appears in the closing credits of The Colours of Infinity.
Echoes performed by Pink Floyd on June 17, 1975 at the Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale NY. I took this with my Minolta SRT201.

"The Girl In The Yellow Dress" by David Gilmour
She mesmerizes with a smile
Dark eyes as compelling as the bourbon
That girl in the canary yellow dress
Says yes
E Major and E Minor are the quiet coastal retreats of the psychedelic folk:
* A Pillow of Winds (1971; the Floyd's song paired with excerpts from Aleksandr Petrov's 2006 animated short film, My Love (2006).)
When night comes down, you lock the door
The book falls to the floor
As darkness falls and waves roll by
The seasons change, the wind is warm

“Where were you when I was burned and broken ?
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and helpless...
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and Coming Back to Life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun”

~I often use the symbolism of this Life Guard
Stand as a beacon of Hope. I watched this
structure struggling against the tides and winds
of 3 major Hurricanes and countless Nor’easters.
The worst problem for this beautiful wooden
structure has been when troubles have come
to this beach in St Augustine. This Stand is left
to endure the ravages of Nature alone. But
somehow when houses, the beach and dunes
were devastated, the ol’ Life Guard Stand has
made it through and it came Back to Life !
This has always been an incredible inspiration
for me.
Somewhere in a parallel dream world of my
broken brain, I am this Life Guard Stand.
Or maybe a cork in the ocean, bobbing up and
down. A prisoner of the tides... But by the
providence of God, surviving to live another
day. Coming Back to Life ~Tom~
Much Love, Happy New Year

After observing the VE Day silence, and then a lovely lunch wtih my Mum and my Uncle in Twickenham, Mum and I made our way to the River Thames for a riverside walk, near Hampton Court Palace.
I have long been fascinated by the houseboat "Astoria". Built in the early 1900s by a theatre impresario, there is room enough under the shade on the top deck for a 90 piece orchestra.
Ownership of the boat was taken on, in the early 80s, by Mr David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, who converted it into a recording studio in which significant parts of the last few (post Roger Waters) PF albums were recorded, as well as Mr Gilmour's solo work. I am a huge fan and rate Mr Gilmour as the finest electric guitar player ever. Of course, that is highly subjective.
I was pleased to finally see the boat, having read a lot about it and seen clips and pics of the interior online. There were no signs of activity around the boat, so I have nothing to report about any new David Gilmour or Pink Floyd albums.... ;-)
Free your mind and enter when ready:
* Fearless (1971)
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

“The last sunlight disappears
And if you sit
Don’t make a sound
Lift your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
A silver sound in a tongue so strange
Sing to me, Sing to me...” David Gilmour

This serrated-edge glossy postcard of a splash-less diver in Mono Lake, California, was issued as an insert in Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here vinyl album released on the Harvest label in 1975. The record, comprising just five tracks, represented the rise and fall of Syd Barrett, the estranged former band member who suffered from severe mental illness. Its most famous track is ‘Shine on you crazy diamond’, a 14-minute nine-part composition written by David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Richard Wright.
The colour is deliberately dull, indicating the irony of the typical postcard message (“having a lovely time, wish you were here”).
Pink Floyd were one of the most commercially successful and influential rock groups in the history of popular music, selling more than 250 million albums worldwide. Talking of which, here's David Gilmour’s floating recording studio on the River Thames at Hampton.

The Blue..
One of the songs I love to play on my PRS guitar is; The Blue written by Polly Sampson and performed by David Gilmour. it just sounds amazing on an electric with an acoustic accompaniment.
The lyrics and song here for your enjoyment.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs ever!
Perfect for today, this shot and the end of a long week.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now theres a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the
Steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend,
You martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the
Steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper,
You prisoner, and shine!
-David Gilmour/Pink Floyd (acoustic)

Pink Floyd (1979)
Probably won't make it out to see Roger Waters when he swings on by, but here's the next best thing.
I don't know though, it's just not The Wall without Gilmour on "Comfortably Numb."

Hard to believe, but today marks the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon album that was released on March 1, 1973 for the U.S., and later on March 16, 1973 for the U.K.
One of the best selling and iconic albums of all time, DSOTM sold estimated sales of 45-50 million album copies. It holds the records for both the consecutive and total weeks on Billboard's top 200 album sales chart. From its release in March of 1973 to 1988 it was on the Billboard's chart for 741 consecutive weeks, and as of today, March of 2023 on the charts for 972 weeks.
In 1973 I got my first Hi-Fi system from having two morning paper routes. I asked my friends what should be the first album to buy, and they definitely said Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon since it was fresh out on release. After getting the first U.S. pressing, I was so blown away by the great sound quality of the album, and also the outstanding job done on the production of the album. I went through three albums of DSOTM until I bought mt first CD in 1984. Personally, DSOTH is in my top three favorite albums, if not my favorite of all times.
Two years ago I was able to get a super clean 1979 MoFi (MFSL) original master recording from a person who only played it a couple of times, which the album cover is seen in the photo. Also in the photo is a 1978 Marantz 6370Q turntable, and 1978 Marantz 2500 stereo receiver.
Take up thy headphones and listen:

* Grantchester Meadows (BBC live; 1969)
* Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk (1967)

This pastoral riverside scene is of the River Thames at Hampton – once in Middlesex, now part of the London Borough of Richmond.
In the centre is the tower of the 19th century St Mary’s Parish church – but more interesting than that (at least for me) is the handsome houseboat below.
This is the Astoria, built in 1911 for the music hall impresario Fred Karno (1866-1941), whose ‘army’ of comedians included Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel and Will Hay. Karno, inventor of the ‘custard pie in the face’ gag, spent some £7,000 (around £650,000 in today’s money) on his floating palace, which could even accommodate a 90-piece ballroom orchestra – but in due course his wealth ran out, to the point of bankruptcy.
Many years down the line, the houseboat was bought and restored by David Gilmour, the legendary Pink Floyd musician. He converted it into a state of the art recording studio which he still uses today.
With thanks to my Flickr friend Vince An Skeusenner, whose own closer image of the Astoria inspired me to take my own photograph.
