LerxstLuthier Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Hey all! A couple of friends and I have a yearly ritual. Every 24th of May we go down to Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie, have a drink and a smoke and raise a glass to Rush. We've been doing this almost every year since I was about 16 years old. Anyone who may be local and feels like hanging with us, come on down! We'll be there at about 10pm. Edited May 24, 2014 by LerxstLuthier 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LerxstLuthier Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Well, it was a georgeous evening. The temperature was perfect, and everything is as it always was....the old willows are so majestic, the Merry-Go-Round still offers 5 cent rides (since 1920) and yes it still weezes the same old 4 songs...LOL! http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo56/FreddyGabs/3110_zps528a5a63.jpg http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo56/FreddyGabs/carousel_zps8a99f8b9.jpg http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo56/FreddyGabs/carousel2_zpsa7705fa1.jpg http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo56/FreddyGabs/PortDalhousieatnightLighthouse_zps114f66a1.jpg http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo56/FreddyGabs/willows_zps1d166539.jpg Last year some friends from England were here. I was in Port Dalhousie one morning this past January and shot this little video of what Lakeside park looks like in winter....brrrrrrrr!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SgZ1SLvcOw And lastly, here's a video of my band when I was a young man covering Lakeside Park. It's in the second half of the video....the first half is YYZ. I always had a special feeling when playing that song because it was a song about home, growing up there and cherished memories. Neil hit that one out of the park for me on a personal level....I don't care what Geddy thinks, I will always love that song!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_I0KvWcMzk Edited May 25, 2014 by LerxstLuthier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdouglas Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Cool pics, thanks for sharing those...and a nice story. What is that your playing in the vid, a Kramer? Sounds very much like the Signature in the SOH vid. I'm trying to guess the year by all the mullets in the vid...so I'll go with 1991? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought it in 83 and I still play it regularly! Your mullet dating skills a finely honed sir...it was 90 or 91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
