ANDY LATIMER NO ACOMPAÑARÁ A ROGER
WATERS
Si bien hubo varias convesaciones de Andy Fairweather Low (quien acompaña con su
guitarra a Roger) con Andy, la posibilidad que este lo acompañe ha sido descartada por el
mismo.
Si bien podría ejecutar muy bien los solos de guitarra de David Gilmour y su voz es muy
parecida (hay medio tono de diferencia), algunas dificultades para cantar en duetos con
Roger, hicieron que ambos músicos descarten esta opción. Dave Kilminster quien tocó
con John Wetton, Quango y Keith Emerson será el guitarrista que finalmente acompañará a
Roger.
A continuación trasncribimos textualmente y en inglés las palabra de Andy:
"Just like to add my warm wishes to you all as I've been absent for a while. The writing of a
new project is progressing well, but as you have heard there's been a few distractions.
Hearing from Andy Fairweather and consequently meeting Roger was an extremely
enjoyable experience. It all happened very quickly and before I knew what was happening I
was playing "Comfortably Numb" at full blast somewhere in London. The band sounded
great, and then... Roger asked me to belt out "Breathe". Singing softly, I could manage it, but
needing to belt it out was a whole other story. I did a fairly croaky rendition (Tom Waits would
have been envious) but the cruncher was "Wish you were here". Roger, forever the
quintessential Englishman, smiled and said "bit high for you?" We talked for quite awhile.
What a nice chap he is, very easy to talk to. I felt like I'd known him for ages. The rest of the
band were equally friendly, especially Andy F. and Snowy White -- great blokes. So, all in all
a great journey, most enjoyable. Dave Kilminster got the gig and although I don't know much
about him, I am sure Roger made a good choice. I wish them well and look forward to
attending a show.
My best wishes, Andy
