I'm here just to add something else about Rush, especially Neil Peart.
This banner, hanging a few times along St. Paul Street, the main street in St. Catharines,
is a celebration of Neil Peart and all that he has accomplished as a home-town boy.
They have other local celebrities, but Neal is the only rocker.

I'm seeing a lot of aquatic graphics for these recordings here,
so I'm adding a photo of a painting I did.
Hey! I'm a lead guitarist so I have to be artistic.
