July 18, 2016 - Syd Barrett - Baby Lemonade (1970)


Anyone thirsty for some Baby Lemonade? Me!! No, me!! Hey, you can each have some! I'll hold up the baby and you can each put your cup underneath him. Ew, gross!!! I changed my mind, no lemonade for me, please.

The opening 0:40 is just Syd warming up on the guitar. Then we're off on a seemingly random series of chords that lead up to the first verse.  The chorus is 'Please, please, Baby Lemonade.' What does it mean? Your guess is as good as mine. Syd plays a cool guitar solo. I was always impressed by Jerry Shirley's ability to keep up on the drums, to stay the course so to speak. A wandering little forty-five second outro and we're done. Thanks, Syd!
