Two very different people passed away last week that I remember for different reasons.
Syd Barrett a founder member of Pink Floyd brought a sound to my ears back in the 60’s that I had never heard the like of before. During my early navy service and being stationed in Portsmouth, I remember a number of trips to London to see many bands (then not very famous) of the 60’s and one visit was to see the early Pink Floyd at the UFO club, what an experience that was!
Sadly, Syd’s contribution to the music scene was all too short and he spent much of the rest of his life outside of the music limelight.
June Allyson was a Hollywood actress of the studio stable format. Never really becoming a super star due to the over control by the studio, she made many well received films including the Glenn Miller Story – great film, great music and great actress and a shame that she was not allowed to do more with her talents.
