PINK FLOYD – SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND
I glued together the classic intro parts and those with lyrics (IV and VII).
The reason for joining the parts in this arrangement is to give it a reasonable length
for the listener. It has, IMHO, the characteric parts most of my listeners remenber. :-)
If you like it, please select a rating, it takes only one second. :-)
