I became a fan at 16 when all my friends thought any music from before we were born was lame, then at 18 they all started listening to the wall.

I actually just found out.   I knew he was in bad shape when I saw him in 2006, but this is off of the radar.   He's playing with Syd.  He kept the "Battle with cancer" close within the PF Family.   I always liked his "honky-tonk/clustered note" style of play.   Noone else did it and IMO he's the 2nd Legend of the Hammond Organ to pass (Billy Preston's already gone).

RIP Rick

PS - Summer '68 was always one of my Richard Wright Fav's, if you haven't heard it give it a whirl.    Now I'm sure David is glad he said yes to the Reunion at Live 8.
