“Ever since I was little, there has been a flavor, a grace of energy, which has always guided me…Fortunately, despite many challenges along the way, I feel it has mainly been full of grace, for which I am eternally grateful.” - Ginger Gilmour Would you run off with the love of your life after only knowing them for 3 days? It sounds like the plot of a Disney movie, but it was Ginger Gilmour’s real life when she found love at first sight with Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. (And how could she not? It’s David Gilmour!) Ginger married her “Prince Charming” and lived a rock-and-roll fairytale, watching as Pink Floyd went from rags to riches. They welcomed four children together and traveled the world together. When the dream was over, Ginger rebuilt her life; becoming a successful multi-media artist. Ginger’s life is a tale of love, spirituality, healing, and finding purpose in life: bringing love and beauty into the lives of others. Hear the story of Pink Floyd from one of the few women who were around, told by two women who love Floyd (and have edited as many of Dave’s guitar solos as they possibly could into this episode.) “Ginger Gilmour: Echoes in Beauty” is available wherever you stream your podcasts 🌈 Sources used: Ginger Gilmour, “Memoirs of the Bright Side of the Moon” (2013) Ginger Gilmour, “Behind The Wall: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Wonder” (2023)
