Geddy spent time at the Baseball Negro league museum in Kansas City a few years back, he donated a large sum as well...i saw the 2112 tour where Rush opened for Ted Nugent, it was of course the early material, the sound those 3 guys created was mind boggling at the time...unreal.

I just now noticed the Grace Under Pressure art hanging on the wall in that image.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
I was also at the Toronto show last night. Fantastic seeing 2 old friends shooting the blah blah blah.
There was some nudge and a wink regarding future projects. But it was obvious that they didn’t want to spill any beans at this time.
I saw the 2112 tour in NYC at the Palladium many moons ago as well. Cheap Trick, UFO & Rush. Not too shabby a lineup!
They're starting to talk in print about playing again, and of course they're going to need a drummer.
For the life of me, the name the back of my mind is always Carl Palmer. He already knows how to swing crazy time signatures. I doubt that would come to pass.

I'm hopeful that they'll play together again, but certain it will not be as Rush.
That chapter has closed.

They almost got themselves in trouble responding to a shout from the audience, but I was close enough to see them exchange "I'm not touching that" expressions.

I've written songs with a few guitar chords whose names I can never properly keep straight. So in stead of saying "I think this is some kind of an E9th chord?" I play it and tell the guitarist I'm showing the part to "I only really know this one as the first chord of Purple Haze." Another I use is one I stole from Neil Young. I couldn't tell you what its proper name is normally. I just looked it up. An app insists that it's a Dm6. I call it the Damage Done chord. I have an A that the important sounding partial on top of it is just another A. So I have no idea how to verbalize that I want THIS particular A, and not THAT one. I've got ten or twelve chords I use occasionally that I have no way to express what they are without a guitar in my hands.
Basically, I'm a mostly self taught guitarist. So when I write songs, I often use chords that I remember showing up in like ONE song. I I can almost never remember what those chords were called. I don't do that on every song. But I do it fairly often.
