After I heard The Division Bell album and realized that I could interpret the lyrics and artwork, I knew I had to go to the concert and see Pink Floyd play it Live. I heard that tickets were going on sale for the July 14th Detroit show, and I just froze up. I thought, what am I suppose to do now? I just waited a bit and thought it over. After several days I looked in the local newspaper classified section for people selling tickets. There was a ticket broker in my area, and they listed front-row seats. I knew I had to have them. Music was never more important in my life until The Division Bell, and I had to take in every bit of excitement and healing that a concert could bring me.

During this time, I heard about the airship named The Division Belle. Columbia Records flew a 194-foot-longblimp between Pink Floyd concert locations. Drummer Nick Mason piloted it on March 30th. A Columbia Electronic Press Kit was released to the media, and a segment contained the following:

I was so anxious to go to the concert and wondered what I could do to stand out so maybe David would see me there. I sent current photos of myself to Palmer, so if David got those with my letters, he also received my photos.

I was never good with drawing or painting, but I did a great job painting a giant yellow and orange sun on the front of a white t-shirt. All around the bottom of the t-shirt, I painted a rainbow and pulse heartbeat like the art on theinside of the Dark-side of the Moon album jacket and how it continues all around.

So the Silverdome was filling up with people fast, and I was already in heaven looking around, knowing I was the luckiest person there. Not just because I learned about the album, but because of my dream ticket.

I was so excited when it was over that I was able to get through it. At one point, I almost forgot the words. It was so awesome to be able to do that. I was so happy, and it was an absolute dream come true. Then the band played the rest of the DSOTM album!

Its diameter was 16 feet and 70 feet in height and became 24 feet wide when it opened up. This particular glitter ball was one of the largest in the world. And it all happened behind me at the Detroit concert, and I missed it!

The following year on June 6, 1995, the new Pink Floyd album P.U.L.S.E was released. I read about a light show at the top of the Empire State Building the night before. I also heard about the red blinking light that was on the side of the CD case.

I did think that the blinking light was like a beacon of hope, like a guiding light from a lighthouse. And the light show at the top of the Empire State Building made it like a lighthouse guiding someone towards something. I knew there had to more to it.

I sat in the living room and turned it on, and there was something extraordinary about the voices. I thought, what is that? I had to go into another room and shut the door so that I could hear it better.
