As we lead up to\u00a0\u201cFloydian Slip\u201d Show #1,000 the week of June 8, we\u2019re digging into the archives to share relics from the show\u2019s past.<\/em><\/p>\n

Patrick Martin<\/strong>, bassist with Unicorn<\/strong>, was one such guy.<\/p>\n

Unicorn is the country-rock band Floyd’s David Gilmour<\/strong> “discovered” and produced in the 1970s. (“There’s No Way Out of Here” on David’s 1978 solo album was originally a Unicorn song, written by the band’s Ken Baker<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

I don’t remember how I “met” Patrick, but I think his email address had been published in a story in Mojo magazine, and I dropped him a note to introduce myself.<\/p>\n

We started corresponding and he helped me get some Unicorn CDs for the occasional Floydian Slip-Up on the show.<\/p>\n

He also mailed along a 4″ x 6″ piece of paper he thought I might get a kick out of. It was a sheet of stationery from Astoria, David’s houseboat recording studio that Patrick had recently visited.<\/p>\n

I’ve never tried calling the phone number listed at the bottom. And I’ve obscured it here, so you won’t be tempted either. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
