Neil

Still absorbing the passing of Neil Peart.

After reading countless eulogies from those in his inner circle, as well as the colleagues that personally knew him, there’s not much I can add. His contributions to the art and influence will echo for eternity. 

On the surface, I drum, I write, and I now ride motorcycles. None of this is attributable to Mr. Peart (more on the BIO) and many would find difficulty believing that, but I do feel that there was a kindred connection because of it. Rush was indeed a huge influence on my music career, always in background, always accessible. As well, Neil Peart’s work was and remains available for reference and entertainment — the benchmark for what’s possible if you put your head down and properly toil.

All I can say is “Thank You, Neil”.

Thanks for it all…
