24th of May


Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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!!!!

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!

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? :)

Yeah that's a Kramer Pacer. Bought it in 83 and I still play it regularly! Your mullet dating skills a finely honed sir...it was 90 or 91.
