Can you tell I am a Floyd Fan.
"Richard William Wright (28 July 1943 - 15 September 2008)[1] was a self-taught pianist and keyboardist best known for his long career with Pink Floyd. Though not as prolific a songwriter as his bandmates Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and David Gilmour, he wrote significant parts of the music for classic albums such as Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, as well as for Pink Floyd's final studio album The Division Bell. Wright’s richly textured keyboard layers were a vital ingredient and a distinctive characteristic of Pink Floyd's sound. In addition, Wright frequently sang background and occasionally lead vocals onstage and in the studio with Pink Floyd (most notably on the songs "Time", "Echoes", and on the Syd Barrett composition "Astronomy Domine")."

I just put on Obscured By Clouds - one album before Dark Side (I think). Back when Floyd played like a live band instead of a studio/recording band. Wright's contributions in that era are even more notable. He will be missed. I posted a tribute at my blog too, at http://isorski.blogspot.com/2008/09/pink-floyds-richard-wright-passes-at-65.html.
Isorski, thanks for the comment. For someone who self taught them self to play and the music he and Floyd put out was surely a gift. Have a great week.
