  • Best Rush Experience
    Going to concert for Rush's "Hold Your Fire" tour stop in Toronto with tickets donated directly by Alex Lifeson who lived in the condo on Bloor St. in Toronto that my buddy worked as Security Guard! I would have otherwise missed the concert entirely because, in those days, I spent every last dime on music gear and LP's and couldn't afford "big ticket" concerts and, admittedly, I wasn't following them as closely during their heavy synth period. But, the day of the show, Lerxst just handed 2 tickets to my buddy on his way out the door, presumably on his way to their soundcheck. And then I got that awesome phone call...

About Me

I'm a Toronto area based professional musician whose paying work extends mainly to the jazz and classical genres, but my tastes in general cover just about everything. That is to say, if a tune is interesting to me musically, or is sincere in its conception, I can find fulfillment in music from just about any idiom.

 

With respect to Rush in particular, I am a fan of 40 years, dating back to 1976 and the release of "2112", my experience of which is described in my post My introduction to "prog"!
