Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason have all signed a one-off guitar, which is being auctioned in aid of homelessness charity Crisis.
The Fender American Standard Stratocaster guitar has been especially hand painted by Ian Emes, creator of the animated clocks on the ‘Time’ screen film, and Ian has recreated the clocks on the body of the guitar. With the guitar signed by the band and Ian, this truly unique instrument is sure to raise some decent funds for this very deserving cause.
Click here to be taken directly to the guitar on CharityBuzz.com; the auction opened today and closes on Thursday 14th July at 2:45PM Eastern Time, (7:45PM GMT). If you wish to make a separate donation to Crisis, their Web site is here.

News
The Starkweather Arts Center will feature the work of an accomplished Detroit artist throughout July.
Carl Lundgren, who created rock-and-roll posters for bands such as The Who, Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplane, as well as hundreds of book covers, will be featured from June 30 to July 23 at Starkweather.
The show will also feature a collection of Lundgren art work including his most current fine art pieces.
Kristin Barr, Starkweather Arts Center director, said the show was the brainchild of David McLaughlin, a member of the Starkweather board and a local author.
“David is involved in that scene and that is how we ended up booking the show,” she said.
Barr said the show is an interesting one because of the nature and variety of the artwork.
“He has such a range of work because he has done the graphic posters and the fantasy stuff, and he has a newer pop style,” she said. “A mix of everything will be shown. I think it is perfect for summer.”
McLaughlin said he met Lundgren a few times and said he always wanted to invite him out to Romeo.
“He does a different style of art,” he said. “He is currently on the scene. He does a lot of shows.”
McLaughlin said he appreciates Lundgren’s work, along with his background coming out of Detroit. Continued…

“I’m into the rock-and-roll type of stuff and I’ve tried to drag them out to Romeo,” he said. “It is nice to see somebody who has a lot of history in the Detroit world. It is a pleasure to have him out here.”
Lundgren began his artistic career in 1967 when he got a job creating posters for The Grande Ballroom. In 1974 he moved to New York City where he worked painting almost 300 book covers mainly for science fiction and fantasy novels. He was nominated for a Hugo Award, the highest award in science fiction, for his paintings.
The Starkweather Arts Center, 219 N. Main Street, is open Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

While the fireworks go off and the coals burn out on the grill, the Bangor Waterfront will light up on the Fourth of July with the technical wizardry of The Machine, the world-renowned Pink Floyd tribute band, who are set to take the stage starting around 8 p.m. Monday. During the day, performances from local bands including Smells Like the Nineties, Restless Groove and Rock Revelation will be offered, starting at 2 p.m. Seated tickets for the concert are $15; general lawn seating admission is $5, and children under 5 are admitted free.
For 20 years, The Machine has performed all over the world, including the stages of Bonnaroo and with full orchestras, bringing the music of Pink Floyd to life. The members of The Machine include founding members Joe Pascarell on guitar and vocals, and Tahrah Cohen on drums; and longtime stagemates Ryan Ball, bass and vocals; and Scott Chasolen, keys and vocals. Pascarell answered some questions we posed to him about Floyd and what the music means to him and the band’s millions of fans.
Q: Pink Floyd has remained one of the most popular bands of all time even after they broke up 15 years ago. What keeps them exciting and relevant after all these years?
A: I can’t speak for everyone else, but for myself, I think this has to do with the fact that their music seems not to be fad or fashion, but rather some real quality art. High-quality art will always stand the test of time because each generation can find themselves in it.
Q: What songs always get the biggest crowd response when you play them?
A: It varies, but I would say “Comfortably Numb” is a pretty safe bet for an enthusiastic response.
Q: What’s the hardest Pink Floyd song to play?
A: For me, Joe the singer-guitarist, it is without a doubt, “Dogs.” On the original track there are four distinct guitar parts and covering them all while singing it is quite difficult, but rewarding.
Q: What’s more fun to play — big outdoor arenas or theaters?
A: I don’t prefer one or the other. They are different enough that it makes the experience of playing each one quite different, also. The way that the energy dissipates in an outdoor setting is completely different than what happens indoors. I feel lucky to be able to do both.
Q: What kind of response do you get from die-hard Floyd fans?
A: Usually a positive one. After all, I am a pretty die-hard Floyd fan, too.

High above the 300 empty seats at the Orlando Science Center’s CineDome, a series of blue, red and green lasers danced in silence.
As projectionist Nathan Wiedemer tested the rock ‘n’ roll laser light show this week, none of the 30 speakers had been hooked up. Instead of Pink Floyd blaring throughout the theater, there was dead quiet.
The silence ends tonight, when the science center begins its summerlong laser-light rock fest, with four new shows synchronized to the sounds of Queen, the Beatles, AC/DC, KISS, Boston and Journey.

Laser light shows have a long history at the science center, where for years fans have flocked to see laser graphics move to classic rock songs. And while technologies evolve and audience interests change, the shows are still among the center’s most popular events.
Every Friday and Saturday night through Aug. 19, the CineDome will be transformed into a retina-rocking music venue that combines 28,000 watts of stereo sound with laser effects lighting up an 8,000-square-foot concave screen that rises up and over the audience.
The four laser shows — “Laser Beatles,” “Laser Vinyl,” “Laser Led Zeppelin” and “Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon” – run about 40 minutes each.
Earlier this week, Ethan Dutcher, chief projectionist at the center, and a crew from Audio Visual Imagineering, an Orlando laser company, mounted a full-color laser projector in the middle of the CineDome, placed two green beam lasers near the screen and installed a haze machine, which produces a kind of mist.
One technician, Mark Zellers, has been in the laser business for more than 20 years and has watched lasers evolve from bulky to compact.
Years ago, a laser light show needed large, heavy equipment, Zeller said. Projectors weighed more than 80 pounds, and the power it took to run them could light up “three or four households.”
Today’s projectors weigh half as much, and most plug into the wall.
“Now they are very green — and not just in color,” Zellers said.
They’re also much easier to operate. All of the information that controls the lights, sounds and haze for each laser show is stored on a hard drive. Once switched on, the show runs itself.
Brian Adams is the creative director at Audio Visual Imagineering, and it’s his job to make laser light shows come to life. An 11-year laser veteran, Adams helped create the Led Zeppelin show playing at the science center.
In designing a show, Adams said, he first listens to a song and takes notes about what could work on the screen.
“You try to interpret graphically what the music sounds like,” Adams said.
For example, during an instrumental part of a classic rock or techno song, which Adams calls “laser-friendly music,” it’s best to splash the screen with abstract images. Sometimes a more literal graphic is needed, such as a picture of a hammer when Robert Plant sings “The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands” in “Immigrant Song.”
All laser images are a single beam of light, Adams said, but the beam moves so quickly that the eye sees it as a picture.
Laser light shows in Orlando date back to 1979. For almost 20 years, the “Cosmic Concert,” as the show was once known, drew music fans to the John Young Planetarium, which is now part of the Orlando Shakespeare Theater. Using video-game-like animations, the audiovisual experience took viewers on an adventure through rock and pop.
Over the years, the shows became a tradition, matching lasers with the music of U2, No Doubt, R.E.M., Prodigy, Stone Temple Pilots, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry andNew Kids on the Block.
Because of changing technologies, the science center pulled the plug on the laser shows in 1998. After numerous requests, they returned in 2006, and the science center has made them an annual event.
The shows attract a “really interesting, diverse audience,” said Jeff Stanford of the science center staff. Families, teenagers, headbangers and former headbangers now in their 40s and 50s can sit side by side and share in the musical trip.
“There’s this nostalgic buzz you get off the shows,” Stanford said .”The appeal is not about the technology. The appeal is about the music and the experience.”
