Question for Pink Floyd mavens.

Sigmund

I've heard that they took the Floyd part of their name from Floyd Dixon. I've also heard ... Floyd Council.

What say ye? Sources?

Thank you.

Anderson also became an unusual footnote in rock history when Syd Barrett, a young man in Cambridge, England, combined Pink's first name with the first name of another obscure bluesman (Floyd Council) to name his rock group, Pink Floyd, in the mid-'60s.

  Thanks. Though it boggles me since Floyd Council is about as obscure as one can get.
