How did you get the video to embed? Just pasting a link for the video webpage when creating a post did not work like it used to on here. Got the link, no video.

When you paste the link in the GID thread, tell it to post the link as plain text. It will take out the underlining at first and then all of a sudden you will see the link text replaced with the video show up in the post. Add any other text that you want at that point ... if any ... and then click on the Submit Reply button. 1
gonzoron Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Not a song, but a great picture taken during recording sessions for a song. Guess which one?
gonzoron Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Haven't seen @foxbat for awhile round these parts, but I know he's a huge Rush fan. This should be awesome if it's at a Theater near you. 1 1

I may have to cut practice early this day and head down to Indy to find a theater where it's playing. Rush officially announced their retirement late last year, so there's been a growing depression amongst fanatics. Perhaps this will be a worthy temporary fix. I've been hanging around, but overseas right now and working through my mom having a heart attack recently as well as the death of my wife's much younger brother earlier this year. Reality has consumed much more of life and been more engaging recently. 1
TheStatGuy Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Adam's song by Blink 182... Had it came out in 2002 and I let my depression get the best of me. You could have named it Kreigh's song. I can't really listen to it anymore cause I could totally relate to "Adam" and sometimes still can.
gonzoron Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 All of these Playing for Change/Song Around the World are good, but this one is the best I've seen.

foxbat Posted January 12, 2020 Author Posted January 12, 2020 Passing of a phenomenal drummer, a genius lyricist, and all-around thinker ... Rush's Neil Peart passed on earlier in the week after fighting brain cancer. As a young kid growing up in the 70s, I fell in love with his philosophical lyrics that proved that music could be both for the mind and the heart and the story-telling that became Rush's moniker. He was a technician and a magician ... a thinker and a creator ... a "philosopher and a plowman" ... "a blacksmith and an artist." It was only fitting that the very first song that I learned to play on the bass guitar was Temples of Syrinx from Rush's magnum opus, 2112. That song unlocked my interest in the bass and also in the study of lyrics ... and Rush, especially Peart, provided a rich feeding ground for how literature could move music. A lot of my bass repertoire contains Rush classics ... and so does my written library. Plenty of introspection this week with the realization that "we are only immortal for a limited time." RIP Professor.
