Ancient Ways Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I'm a little shocked that drake and nickel back received this honor before rush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) I think i see Canadianice in the crowd.He is standing next to the mayor wearing the grey blazer. I wonder if he's asking the mayor if the key is magnetic like the little guitar Geddy bought for him once. Hey, John, can I put this key on my fridge?

gjptest Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Alex took photos with lots of people! I wouldn't say Geddy left early, he did shake a lot of hands and sign lots of stuff. But Alex spent a lot more time taking photos, signing stuff, and chatting.It was surprisingly easy to get up to the front where they entered and exited, and they were super nice about signing autographs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 https://www.facebook...57469117995243/ strombo's interview Thanks, HemiBeers! It was a fun interview. I took two screen shots of Alex and Geddy's mothers sitting next to each other behind the stage. (Alex's mom wearing purple sweater and purple blouse; Ged's mom wearing dark sweater and red scarf at neck; both are so darling. ) They must have loved seeing their sons get this honor. http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp338/plantfan40/Screen%20Shot%202016-09-17%20at%2011.04.10%20PM.png http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp338/plantfan40/Screen%20Shot%202016-09-17%20at%2011.03.23%20PM.png 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 For me, this was right up there with the Canadian Music Songwriters Hall Of Fame, The Order Of Canada and National Lampoon's Artist of the Millennium. Would have been nice if I could have made it work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
