On the way to church this morning, we were listening to Sirius Channel 27. They are playing Rush today. Listened and drummed to Twilight Zone, and Live Xanadu:) Then...the synth intro to 2112 revealed to me how POWERFUL the hurt still is!! More tears!!

Rush fans are everywhere!! "We Have Assumed Control!!'

Hello Rush Family. Been so very long since I've been on here. Glad to be back! Yesterday was tough, like for MANY of us Fans, Drummers, etc. Grown Men.....do cry! Neil touched us all in different ways. I've been a drummer since age 5. I first heard the Boys at age 10. I grew up like so many. Listening, Umpteen Tours, Posters, Studying Neil's Drumming, introducing family friends and co workers to Rush, naming children after bandmates, taking children to Rush Shows, and placing NLPEART on my license plates in 1995!! Let's all stay in touch even more. We are Family!! Love you guys!! Thanks for being here. Thanks for EVERYTHING Neil!!

C`mon ya`ll....sound off!! Lets meet tomorrow in Va Beach!!! I`ll be wearing a black Rush/Rock n Roll Hall of Fame T-Shirt... Text me at 804-687-1364 Ya`ll take care

Hey...I saw this on my Comcast News the other night. In the article it mentioned that the position he played in has caused some spinal problems. No drummer wants to hear this at all!! Don`t know if he has Arthritis, or some back problems. Everyone out there PLEASE practice proper posture when you play. Phil really shined on those old Genesis Albums...and at the end of that Eric Clapton song with that Fife and Drum snare solo!!!! (By the way....anyone know the title of that Eric Clapton Song?????) Ya`ll take care!!

Cardiac Cath-Lab Scrubs!!

I just got into work a little over an hour ago, and read that Louie Bellson died. Talk about a, "Giant" in the drum world!!! He was a true originator, and will sorely be missed by many drummer and musicians worldwide. We`re loosing all the good ones guys!! Ya`ll take care
