Wrong wrong! All wrong! heh

PoTW is unfortunately not ever included with the wonderful bridging solo that Snowy White added for the space between Part 2 and Part 1 on the 8 track. That's maybe one of my favorite moments on Animals, another woefully underappreciated Floyd album.

As for Learning to Fly . . . . The song itself may be more of a creation of Jon Carin, but it's definitely a signature piece for the latter day Floyd (pop in circumspect). So, if you're one of those strictly pro-waters floyd-ites, then you could stand to listen a bit more and talk a bit less.

Think I'll go throw on Amused to Death . . . perfect sense.
