♢ Happy Birthday Roger Keith “Syd” Barrett ! (Born: January 6, 1946)

❝  We would hang around in the art department, playing guitars every lunchtime. Teaching each other basically. The thing with Syd was that his guitar wasn’t his strongest feature. His style was very stiff. I always thought I was the better guitar player. But he was very clever, very intelligent, an artist in every way. And he was a frightening talent when it came to words, and lyrics. They just used to pour out. ❞ - David Gilmour

I was beaten to it…
