    Yep. That's where Florida is.

    There's nowhere to play here.

    The Florida Fun Fest is August 14th I think, so Neil can chopper on by and we'll give some onions. It's onion country out here, and then he can polka with the locals! common001.gif laugh.gif

    I have no recollection of why I used to drive through there, but I remember the area. I remember the drive-in, every Route 17 spur converging, and some joint in Chester called Clayton Delaney's (I don't even know how I found it or why I was there, but in the mid 90s, they had some good tortellini). I can't think of one place near there that would be big enough. I guess the drive-in is your best bet, but still dreadfully small for something like that.

    I don't think he would ever play here in Florida, NY with Polka King, Jimmy Sturr.

    Florida, NY? Isn't that the town between Warwick and Chester? I remember driving through there. If so, where would they play? The drive-in? confused13.gif smile.gif

    VT is one of the states I would actually move to -

    Me too. So I did. Ain't ever moving back to NJ, either. no.gif

     

    But your points are all well taken; not a lot of people live here. I may well have had more people living in my old town in NJ than live in the entire state of VT. People around here worry about a terrorist attack on the nearby nuclear plant. I point out that no self-respecting terrorist would attack Vernon, VT. How do you brag about it? "That'll show those Americans! We killed all 3 people living in the state!"

     

    At any rate, Neil should have played closer to here. My local bar has (the) Macallan.

    There is no way anyone can tell if any autograph is authentic unless the person that signed said it was the real deal. confused13.gif

    I don;t agree. I have signed prints from all 3 purchased through their official photographer's site and knowing they are real it is possible to tell many of the fakes I have seen on ebay.

    I think what you're both trying to say is that there's no way to know by looking at an autograph if it's real, but you often can tell if it's fake just by looking at it. smile.gif

    I've seen boots with wrong song names (heck and even BAND names) several times... I think when they were a little more "commercially available" it was a ruse to get them run at a legitimate production facility.  Wasn't there a Rush boot available YEARS back that everyone thought the name of the band was Cygnus? (IIRC it was produced by Mike Bahr who used to sell CDR's way way back)

    That happens more often than you might think. One example I used to own was the boot Freefall, which listed Fly By Night as "Take My Life." Not even close.

    FEEL SO GOOD

    Take yourself a friend

    Keep 'em till the end

    Whether woman or man

    It makes you feel so good

    So good

     

    Any chance someone just didn't know the name? I see that on bootlegs where some other lyric will be listed as the song title.

    As far as flamenco, he started doing that in the 90's.

    I would disagree with this statement, but only on a technical level. I would more accurately describe it as the flamenco style coming into common usage and prominence in the 90s. He did it, to a lesser degree, even when Rutsey was in the band. Check out this video from '74 and skip to about 3:40.

    It's not as well refined and he's not using it as a rhythm as he does all the time now. It turned more into a Geddy Lee staple in the 90s, though, and you can hear it in most songs these days.

    For more recent examples, ones that come to mind off the top of my head are:

    Earthshine (see ~1:00)

    Crossroads (see ~0:10)

    and the aforementioned Animate (see ~0:30).
