blueschica Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Geddy has donated the bass strings from when he played Roundabout with Yes at the RRHOF last year to charity. The place that is handling them is https://theguitarwrist.co.uk/rush/ a place that creates art and jewelry from items that artists donate. The buyer of Geddy's times will see their donation go to Grapes For Humanity and the UK Teenage Cancer Trust. Links and photos below- 5 days left! (Sadly, the bids are above my price. I love the bracelet! ) https://theguitarwri... https://theguitarwri...rings-bracelet/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right. :( Alex kind of gets around to different projects and it makes me forget that Geddy hasn't actually played in a while (in public, anyway.)

HalfwayToGone Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 You forgot he sat in with Les Claypool and Sean Lennon a month or two ago. That was the last one I heard about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was only a few weeks back too. Watched it about 10 times too, and I still forgot it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfwayToGone Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Yeah it’s easy to get confused when you know there’s no plans and just a book tour and the random pop-in on another band’s gig. I’m just intrigued that someone went to the trouble to isolate that specific set of strings from RRHOF performance and keep them aside from the umpteen million other sets of dead strings he must have gone through over the decades. But it was a pretty damn special occasion, so I guess not so weird really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
