Born on this date in 1946, Syd Barrett (d. July 7, 2006), founding member, guitarist, and singer of Pink Floyd. Barrett composed the majority of PFs early music and, as much as I love PF in all its phases, I think the early SB-era is my favorite period. Syd fell victim to mental illness exacerbated by heavy drug use and left the band in 1968. This is one of my favorite songs from PFs first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (the title taken from Kenneth Grahames The Wind in the Willows). I know a mouse, and he hasnt got a house. I dont know why I call him Gerald. Hes getting rather old, but hes a good mouse.
