Thank you for 6K subscribers! One year ago, I was at 3,400.
This new Rush video was a labor of love. I analyze each record and pick my favorite song. Please give it a watch and let me know what you think. https://youtu.be/DB8HyFlrUG8
Yes, I play the Geddy signature jazz bass.
Next week, I'll share my favorite albums of the year so far.

The Bug bit this January. Kids are sick. We're all sleep deprived. It's the pits.
But I'll be back with a couple new album reviews soon.
I'm also working on a worst-to-best album rank of my favorite band from the 1980s. Any guesses?

YIKES! I re-uploaded my "Eclectic Prog" video because of a major visual issue. 😤 This really hurts how many people will see the video, so please help me out by liking and commenting on the video below. I put a lot of time into my videos, so this kind of stupid error is super frustrating. Enjoy the music and thanks for your support 🙏
