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 18 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 S.
