Music, Sweet Music...
Been having a difficult weekend. Working all night tweaking Don & Carol's video and never being happy with the results. I guess I'm a bit of a perfectionist and due to some dumb technical errors of my own fault, it's hard to get right.
Also, I have sent Don two sample discs about a week ago and he has not received them. They usually get my mail in two or three days. So, we think somebody stuck their hand into the cookie jar, so-to-speak.
Sundays kinda aren't my favorite day and today I was feeling pretty low and at 4 PM my time I turned-on my evil television set and lucked into a Rush concert on some channel called Palladia.
It was the first time (I hate to admit) that I had seen Rush in concert, as I own vinyl records they made before some of you were born.
They are three virtuoso musicians (Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart) Neil Peart, the drummer writes all their lyics. A few years ago I read that he's such an avid motorcyclist, he shuns the $500,000 motor home and rides one of his bikes. Now that's cool!
I feel a lot better now, I do miss being a part of rock and roll (that was a long time ago) and I have to admit, these guys brought tears to my eyes, more than once, it just was that joyous!
Neil Peart did a twenty-minute drum solo that was incredibly brilliant. Among a hundred drums he has all sorts of other percussion devices and he played them all, including an electronic Marimba pad, blew me away. Alex Liveson played seven or eight guitars (I lost count) all of which to die for. Mostly Gibson's and custom one-offs. Geddy Lee is a briliant bassist and holds his own on keyboards.
I was lucky enough to find this, the song they closed with, "Working Man" on YouTube and I thought I'd share. This is the same thing I just saw, enjoy:

EDIT:
OK, I found another one. This is Xanadu from about 1975. Neil and Aelx still have long hair and Geddy is wearing a white satin wizard's cape and BOTH guys are playing double-necks.
If you have 5.1 Surround, turn it up, if you already haven't.
What's this got to do with Orgone?
It feels good:
