[Verne Bunsen]

Well that looks like a pretty awesome event, enjoy!

 

[Cagey]

Good for you! The guy's an icon. I'm sure you'll both enjoy that quite a bit.

 

[BigSteve22]

I will choose Freewill...

Mayfly. Its cool you are going to the event.

My copy of Geddy's book arrived recently. Very heavy book or at least it seems so as I had recently had abdominal surgery.

Looks like an interesting book... :bass:

I only took a quick skim through it so far but it does look interesting. Looking forward to thumbing through it some more.

I pre-ordered months ago and Amazon were doing a crazy low price. Glad I took advantage of it.

That sounds like a fun event. Enjoy!

I am half way through Neil Peart's Ghost Rider book. 
More of an extensive journal, but cool so far.

I love books about instruments, especially guitar and bass. I remember in high school back in the early 80's, I had a class in the library and found some old books on the history of guitars...

That is a good read.

Just got back home from the event.  It took place in an old church down town.  I took Dosh (the bass player) along with me.  The guy in front of us flew in from Dallas to be there. 

Ged was a very entertaining guy.  It was a good night!  Some shots for you:

All right! Big name, small venue, always the best way to go. I remember seeing Roger Daltrey, many years ago, in a little church in NYC. Glad you had fun, thanks for sharing the pix. :icon_thumright:

 

[rgand]

What fun! Glad to hear it was a good event.  :icon_thumright:

@DangerousR6 sorry, I missed your comment before. Yes instruments and books on them can be fascinating. I can't imagine a world without books or instruments.

Color me jealous! I've always been a big fan of Rush and the guys. Cerebral and humble and just all around great people.

 

[ghotiphry]

I've seen Rush in concert twice, once in Omaha for Moving Pictures in the '80s and once in Chicago for Vapor Trails in the '00s.  Very different concerts.  Amazing musicians, although in the '80s the musicianship wasn't top on my list for going to see them, it was "Dude, I got Rush tix!  Totally bitchin!  I'm stoked!" type thing then.  I'm so jealous of that event.  Although I can't play his stuff he's still an inspiration to me.
