    If you get a chance, catch his YouTube videos. He literally assembles skilled musicians for jam sessions that share what inspired me about Pink Floyd 50 years ago. New tunes too, done with skill.

    One example of many:

    We've seen a couple of individual member with a backing band concerts. About 15 years back, Rogers Waters, and 7~8 years back, Nick Mason, and the backing band included a son of another member IIRC. The latter concert was a lot of the classic, including a very faithful Saucer Full of Secrets in the encore.

    I'm a dogged duffer on piano, try to cobble a pastiche of the chord progressions and string along a melody; if I'm luck it ends up a "plausible pastiche" at best. Hopefully in the original key. Saucer's coda is one I worked out, first in A- (that ain't right), then in B-.

    Lovely anthem, goes thus:

    B- A E F#
    D G E A
    F# B- G F#
    E- D F#

    repeat till concluding with B (major) added to fourth line
