Hello everyone! I just
wanted to share a couple of things with our visitors. 1. This is our 15th year starting on May 19th and I am trying like the dickens to get the site revamped for a fresh launch, so keep your eyes peeled. 2. Come join us on our Facebook group, link below, we are now almost 1500 strong of Syd fans. 3. The "official" site that came into existence 2 years after Mr. Barrett died will not give links to this site, or it seems any of the other Barrett sites that have been around for 10-15 years. I find this to be in really poor taste and a slap in the face to fans overall. While I cannot tell anyone not to visit that site, I will say that the site is from the record company, and they would seem to like nothing more than the real fan sites to go away, which would leave the web as a very dull place... just my 2 cents. |
| 3/04/10: | Still working behind the scenes on getting the site revamped, but just wanted to take a moment to thank Mojo Magazine for mentioning us in their new article on Syd, I have always been a fan of Mojo, even if it is hard to get here in the US, Thank You guys! |

 Running this website since
1997 has been an act of love for Mr. Barrett's work and genius, I find
his story a tragedy, but one that must be shared. In his creative time
he has produced work that I do not believe will be forgotten, and helped
form one of the greatest bands of all time in Pink Floyd. Hopefully
someday even his art will be well known (this seems to be happening
since I wrote this).I have always funded this website out of my own pocket, there are no advertisements, or Google ads etc. I am placing a Paypal donations link on the site, just to help paying for the server usage as the site is now averaging over 14,000 hits a month, and I do not want us to lose any of the long collected content that I like to provide. I hope that none of you find that distasteful, but it is a lot of work, and after 12 years of funding this great site, a little support (even $1 would do) to help keep it ad free, fast, and packed with information is all I'm looking to accomplish. I would like to thank you in advance if you choose to donate, and if not, everyone is welcome to enjoy the site as always. Thank you all again, this site is for all of us fans and will always be. Your faithful host. - Stephen Schneider |
