Did you ever wonder about the voices that you hear in between and over the music in Pink Floyd’s iconic album, Dark Side Of The Moon? Well today, you’re going to find out. In this episode, we meet my old friend, Puddie Watts. Puddie was married to Peter Watts, road manger and chief sound technician for Pink Floyd. The two were in the studio that night and feature prominently in the voices you hear on the album. Puddie is going to tell us how it all came about, as well as her experiences being part of Pink Floyd’s extended family. And of course, This Week In Rock, and a medical segment devoted to Dementia and its interesting and unusual relationship to music.
