oh, i know! i know! i thought you'd get a kick out of that picture....and no massive pa systems, nothing. coupla microphones... i thought this one was charming as hell too...speaking of legends.  FLASHBACK: 1952 Louis Armstrong with Tom, Kathleen and Jean Holzfeind at the Blue Note nightclub. Jazz's most influential musician never passed his chops on to children of his own (these kids belonged to Blue Note owner Frank Holzfeind). But Satchmo was nevertheless a dad; once established in Chicago in the 1920s, he sent for his cousin's orphaned son, Clarence, whom he had supported from birth. Though a childhood fall had left Clarence mentally disabled, his guardian was proud of his "Little Louis Armstrong." Through all of Armstrong's marriages and bands and travels, he had two constants: Clarence and music. (Tribune archive photo)

LONDON (Reuters) - Pink Floyd keyboard player and founding member Richard Wright died on Monday after a short battle with cancer, his spokesman said. He was 65.
Wright, singer, songwriter and guitarist Syd Barrett, guitarist Roger Waters and drummer Nick Mason founded the band that became Pink Floyd in the 1960s when they were students. Pink Floyd went on to become one of the biggest names in rock.
"The family of Richard Wright, founder member of Pink Floyd, announce with great sadness, that Richard died today after a short struggle with cancer," his spokesman said in a statement.
"The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this difficult time."
Wright co-wrote five songs on "Dark Side of the Moon," which was released in 1973, spent 14 years on the Billboard 200 album chart and is one of the best selling albums ever.
Wright left Pink Floyd after falling out with Waters during sessions for "The Wall." He rejoined the band in 1987.
