Her birthday is two days before mine, if I remember correctly...

 

If I'm doing the math (yes, math!) in my head correctly, Geddy was the same age when Kyla was born that my dad was when I was born...

 

Just something I thought was cool...

I love that pic of Geddy and his mom. smile.gif

 

This is Geddy, his wife Nancy and their som Julian - obviously a rather old pic - but look at his smile biggrin.gif .

From the February 1982 Rolling Stone article 'Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas: Two Nerds From Canada'.

 

...That kind of humor has taken The Great White North LP to the top in Canada. Equally significant in the LP's rise has been the single "Take Off," with Rush's Geddy Lee on vocals. "We heard that Rush were taping the segments and playing them while they were on tour," says Moranis. "I had gone to public school with Geddy, but I hadn't seen him in years. We had somebody call him, and he agreed to do it. So he walks into the studio with his baby and his wife — and his baby has a toque on — and he says, 'Listen you guys, I really want to apologize in advance — my voice just isn't there until nighttime. I'll do the best I can.' Anyway — one take." Indeed, Lee's inimitable yawp ("Take off to the great white north/Take off, it's a beauty way to go"), combined with the mutterings of Doug and Bob ("Decent singin', eh?" "Ya, he's good"), makes the cut irresistible.

 

These photos are from the same session:
