You got that right, Neil Peart is The Man!!!!!!!!!!
Not only is this percussionist the best of the best, he has also been through a lot of serious personal struggles and has risen above them time and again. That's more than a lot of players can say. Many a less talented musician have buckled over a lot less than this man has.

It's been a long 10 year road for Neil. it'd be a shame for the music world , had he decided to pack it in. Go Neil !
As I type this , RUSH is in the studio recording their next album in Upstate New York. Quite possiblty "Bearsville Studios".....
BTW Tom, your sig cracks me up........

Upstate New York. I think it's owned by Todd Rundgren.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen a happy Neil Peart.:)

It wasn't that long ago that the future of Rush was seriously in question due to all of the personal hard times that Neil was going through.

Glad to hear that he's still on his feet and that Rush is recording again.
