Distant Signals Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Hello Fellow Rush Fans, My name is Don and I am a rush-aholic Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. I have been listening to Rush for nearly 30 years and it all started by findinng by oldest brothers vinyl albums when I was 13 and I put on the first side of 2112. I listened to the whole first side and instantly fell in love I am currently trying to find some local musicians to put together a tribute band. I play 5 keyboards and am hoping to have our set list ready by fall. We have our 2nd rehearsal next week and have 10 songs in the works I'll post up our set-list a little later. Feel free to comment and post your suggestions about anything. Rock on Edited June 11, 2009 by RUSH-2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush Cocky Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 If I was local to you, I would love to be your drummer. But alas, Pennsylvania is a long ways away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0N Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Well, thats 5 more than I can play Look forward to hearing your stuff, and welcome aboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Signals Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks everyone. If I can find some dedicated musicians who will commit to this project, it will be wonderful. Wait till you hear Subsivisions. You would think that I sampled it from the album, but I spent days and days tweaking my one keyboard to get it to sound exact. Tom Sawyer is dead on as well. Just wish I could find some musicians who can play this complicated stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you need to make a road trip to Pittsburgh It would be so worth it to hear some I am working on the videos right now. I think they turned out pretty good, just need to upload them to YouTube. Stay tuned!! Edited October 6, 2009 by RUSH-2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushlady23 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Baltimore to Pittsburgh is one hell of a haul!! I think I'll watch it on Youtube instead. Maybe you should consider touring!! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Signals Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Pfff. That's a weekend road trip. 4-6 hours and leave Saturday morning, arrive in Pittsburgh by mid afternoon. Do some sightseeing/shopping and go to our show that night. I don't see the problem here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
