Shindler, head of the Italy Star Association, used military maps and intelligence reports to identify the spot where Lieutenant Waters and his comrades in the Royal Fusiliers were surrounded by the Germans and where Waters was killed.
Roger's poem, titled One River, begins:
When the wind scythes through the crop and good men fall
And children soft in mothers arms cringe, unbelieving, from the desperados casual blade
My father, distant now but live and warm and strong, in uniform tobacco haze, speaks out.
‘My son’, he says, ‘Stay not the passion of your loss, But rather keen and hone its edge
That you may never turn away, numb, brute, from bets too difficult to hedge...
The entire poem, written originally in 2002, can be read in the Wall Live tour programme. There are hopes that a memorial will be erected in the location. Shindler: "I'm negotiating with the local council for a monument at that spot in memory of Lieutenant Waters and all the Allied troops who were killed and who have no grave."
With apologies for the lack of advance notice, Roger Waters will be appearing on the CBS Sunday Morning show on US television today, November 10th. Please check your local listings for time and channel number, but we understand it is 9am-10:30am EST.
Their website holds various aired interviews and stories, so hopefully it will appear there in due course for those unable to see Roger's appearance. As yet, we don't know the nature of his appearance but we suspect it is to talk about this week's appearance on the Stand Up for Heroes event, along with it being Remembrance Sunday in the UK, with the US observed Veterans Day following tomorrow, which we are sure Roger will also touch on.
UPDATE: Hopefully, you'll all be able to see the video of this piece here:
AyseDeniz Gokcin, the pianist who has turned a number of Pink Floyd tracks into classical arrangements, and who two month's ago (September 2013) recorded an entire concert of Floyd material, taking inspiration from Chopin and Rachmaninov, is releasing a very special album at the end of this month, on November 30th.
'Pink Floyd Classical Concept' will be available on iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon and other digital music stores. She has also made 1,000 limited edition CDs to sell from her website and at her concerts. She told us: "I will actually be performing them in Argentina (Chacabuco) on the day, and will celebrate it with Argentinian Pink Floyd fans over there :))" Below, AyseDeniz talks about the history and background to the project:
"This album initially started with my arrangements of three Pink Floyd songs, written in the form of a fantasia (Pink Floyd 'Lisztified': Fantasia Quasi Sonata) to celebrate Franz Liszt’s 200th anniversary. They were inspired by his legacy, his showmanship, his philosophical ideas as well as art and literature that influenced his works. Unlike other 'covers', my arrangements evolved out of the original songs and took their own shape, making the project an 'osmosis' of Pink Floyd’s and Liszt’s music.
"While these three songs (Hey You, Wish You Were Here, and Another Brick in the Wall) were the seeds of this concept album, the new arrangements have developed quite differently. They are a further departure from the “Pink Floyd 'Lisztified': Fantasia Quasi Sonata” in the sense that they are more daring and experimental.
From all accounts, last night's concert in New York under the banner of Stand Up for Heroes, with performances from the likes of Roger Waters, Bruce Springsteen and Jerry Seinfeld, was a great success. The live stream of the entire show has just been made available to view, worldwide, on demand through Youtube:
Last minute preparations are no doubt taking place as we type this for tonight's Stand Up for Heroes event being held in New York.
Amongst the artists confirmed for the 7th annual evening of comedy and music are the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Bruce Springsteen and Roger Waters, and it is being held at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, at 8pm this evening. Tickets for the event, which started at $250, are all sold out, but people across the world are able to enjoy the concert live, as it happens!
Roger Waters' performance will feature a band comprised of nearly two dozen musicians and singers - all of whom are wounded active service members or veterans representing all branches of the US armed forces including the Musicorps Wounded Warrior band from Walter Reed hospital. From the rehearsal pictures we've seen, we know that also performing with Roger will be Jon Carin, GE Smith, and Dave Kilminster. Roger's set, along with the rest of the show, will be available via a live webcast featuring a Google+ Hangout. RSVP now for the event: http://g.co/standup2013
Since its inception, the event has raised more than $16 million to support wounded warriors and their families. It brings together leaders from military, business, entertainment, government, and philanthropy to raise funds to help post-911 injured service members and their families thrive long after they return to the home front.
Stand Up for Heroes marks the sacrifice of returning service members, veterans and their families by offering support in the effort to heal the physical and psychological wounds of war.
UPDATE: the following video shows the arrival at the venue of the performers, including interviews:
