saw a percussion group tonight. Got me thinking about Craig, hope he gets to make all the Rush concerts next year and that there aren't ticketmaster fees in the afterlife

after the percussion group a kid with an upright bass came out an literally slapped out some music, now I'm listening to Geddy's autobiography

Freewill, The #RUSH Experience, is celebrating 30 years with a concert in #Tempe #Arizona

#Freewill is a great #TributeBand I've seen many times before

The band members are true fans of Rush, you have to be to practice as hard as they do

Recently they also gave a shoutout for Craig Maloney before he passed, so thanks to them for helping with #RushForCraig

Listening to Clockwork Angels on a headset. There's so much going on. I had forgotten the rocktitude of this album

#RushForCraig #Rush #ClockworkAngels #RushIsABand

@jorge @rbowen

#RushForCraig if I'm correct the following studio albums are left

* Moving Pictures
* Presto
* Vapor Trails
* Clockwork Angels

We've been doing it somewhat wrong, #CraigMaloney was choosing albums randomly

Per XKCD documentation, the random number is 4, so next week we'll have #ClockworkAngels

https://xkcd.com/221/

There are 3 clockwork books:

* https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781469228983-clockwork-angels
* https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781501904769-clockwork-lives
* https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781705051795-clockwork-destiny

@jorge @rbowen

spent the evening updating my "Mastodon and the Fediverse: Decentralized Social Networking and Services" talk that I'll be giving for @mug Tuesday @ 18:30 EST ( UTC -4 )

This week's #RushForCraig going back and filling in an older album we skipped along the way, is A Farewell To Kings. Other than Xanadu, I'm actually not particularly familiar with this one, so looking forward to spending some time with it.

/cc @lufthans @jorge

@rbowen it's your turn to choose a #Rush album if you want

It might show up in the MUG meeting Tuesday :)

@rbowen @jorge After last week's #FlyByNight I'll go for a newer album, 1996's Test For Echo

#T4E includes the debut of the great Scottish tune in its 3 person form before it became famous as a strings duet

https://www.rush.com/albums/test-for-echo/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_for_Echo

Scottish tune ( per Geddy ) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ14PsXtuIs

Also the manic Driven with fun video featuring Geddy on left-handed bass, and Alex on lh strings as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jPondwDDOE
