wilb1972 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks -- so how is he associated with Rush? I've never read anything about him and Rush being connected before. I googled him and didnt see any references to Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I love Grusin. He's done a lot of soundtrack work: On Golden Pond, Tootsie, theme from the show St. Elsewhere, etc. Rush connection? I didn't know one existed. Seems the only "connection" is that Grusin ALSO has a song called "Fly by Night," very different from the Rush song of the same name.

wilb1972 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 QUOTE I must admit it is a bit strange. And I have the 97 remaster too. Gets stranger and stranger to me -- you know I wonder how they would get Grusin's name in the writing credits for a Rush album? I mean, its an interesting coincidence that both have tracks called Fly by Night? Did someone (wherever this is done) get their information confused when they were inputing it onto the disc?? Or is it a joke? Oh well. This reminds me of an incident several years back I was perusing the CDs in a WalMart and they had a classic rock compilation (the name of which eludes me at the moment) and it had Fly by Night on it. The songwriting credits were listed below each title and below FBN it had Weinrib / Peart, which I thought was rather humorous. Wonder how many fans thought, who is Weinrib?

hunter Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well if Grusin has a song by the same title is it possible your media player is going on line to find the album info and just pulling up the wrong thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that is possible... Anyhoo -- it was just an odd thing that I was hoping some of my fellow Rush-heads could sort out for me! Thanks for indulging me!

Babycat Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Just researched Dave Grusin. It appears that there was an album called Captain Fingers - (this album was written by Lee Mack Ritenour) in 1977. Anyway, track 3 shows a title called Fly By Night, written by Dave Grusin.

I guess I just assumed that stuff was encoded onto the disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
