Me and the Ms are huge Pink Floyd fans. Thanks for answering the question in the Pink Floyd song. "WHICH ONES PINK?"

[@el_chief_dannyboy]

Syd Barrett’s Pink Floyd was the best lineup! Can you do a video about how Jefferson Airplane got their name by Blind Lemon Jefferson?

[@nicolen.9642]

I love your documentaries! Interesting this connection between Pink and Floyd...it's also discovery of more blues styles! Thanks for your dedication to music! 🎵🎵🎵

[@frankphillips7436]

I have long been aware of Pink and Floyd though I really have never known anything particular about Pink or Floyd! Thank you

[@peterjohnson724]

There's no way I would ever have known that if you hadn't told me.

[@dickjohnson1158]

Peter Johnson you must be a youngster

[@peterjohnson724]

@@dickjohnson1158 Nope, just didn't have that fact in my repertoire.

[@markkayser426]

Perhaps you could do a video comparing the different blues styles. You seem to really know your history of early blues.

[@valeriygodziatskiy9686]

Love your Channel man! Thank you for sharing

[@andyZ3500s]

I can't even Express how much I enjoy your history video's on the blues. Plus I can't wait to show this to my brother in law. He doesn't get the blues at all and Pink Floyd is his favorite band.

[@FosterandBoys]

I love the blues and Pink Floyd is my favourite band! I never knew this but thanks for sharing!

[@adamguinnmusic5871]

I would have probably included Gary Davis's Gibson jumbo. I don't think it had a fun name or anything but I definitely think of him the second I see one of those guitars

[@sapelesteve]

Awesome video Ed! I learned something new today about the early Blues. I am always amazed by the fact that all of those old Blues guys were self taught. Really incredible............. Thanks

[@shaunw9270]

I have recordings by them on compilation CDs. I'll take them over The Pink Floyd everyday ! 😊

[@geraldobrien7323]

And here I am thinking they were named after the character from Dazed and Confused.

[@lemonderangello]

i hope you keep doing more docs like this.. so much to know that isn't well known...

[@groovr22]

Great Stuff..! I LOVE your history lessons as much as your music. Taught me something new, right here..!

[@petesessa2041]

I saw a quick picture of Blind Willie McTell in this piece but no mention of his name as you referenced the Piedmont Blues with the influence of Ragtime. Mr. Mctell wrote Stateboro Blues in exactly that style. (1928) I can only imagine the connection between Pink, Floyd and Blind Willie Mctell during those years. Nice video. I loved the history and the music.

[@sgwoodward3017]

Another great video, Edward.

[@AllenGoodman]

Great channel,I wish you much success !

[@adequatebus8280]

thank you, once again, for an excellent history lesson. -C

[@j1w2t3]

thanks edward

[@fobster2000]

Thanks for the history lesson!

[@mjt11860]

thank u. fascinating history.

[@ScienceHippie]

@1:21 'What a long strange trip...' so The Grateful Dead weren't the original turners of that phrase? That blows my mind more than the Pink Floyd thing.

[@andyZ3500s]

I was thinking that I missed that. So I went back and there it was on the sign.

[@lordkarel]

Apparently "Live Laugh Love" is older than I thought as well.

[@guitzanin]

Thanks!

[@DavidMFChapman]

Thanks for that

[@burntchickennugget3519]

I can't make out the song in the background but it definitely sounds like Charley Patton!

[@jimmyscissors2633]

I may have inadvertently disliked one of your videos - it was a mistake! (Don’t ask: trying to pick the channel icon and somehow ended up missing). Loving your work and your peerless renditions of timeless classics - keep it up! 🙌🏻

[@rymcdonakew6516]

dooope haha i heard of how they got there name and all i just never heard a discription much of the legends them selfs.... love me some pink floyd and they do mention something of this in the documentarys

[@nicholasrourke3836]

Wicked cool video bro.

[@WaywardTexan]

And we all know where the Rolling Stones got their name from, right?

[@InfamousQuiche]

how did they get their name?

[@athhar3643]

It's a lot better name than The Catfish! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoWVmaydfdpreas

[@justayoutuber1906]

And I thought Pink Floyd was named after a communist barber in Mayberry, NC.....
