I am on a DT kick. Trying to get stuff scanned for my father.

1. can I ask you anything?

Wasn't that weird about the album cover of the cd that was to be released on 9/11/2001?

3. That was Live Scenes from New York.

This is the studio album. Scenes from a Memory.

FYI I have the live album. I actually bought it. On 9/11/2001.

I found out that you are also a big Rush fan, so am I.

5. how did you find that out? It's no secret, handle and all, just curious

I was going through some old stuff this evening and I found the ticket to my first Rush concert. It's from December 1, 1981, in Birmingham, Alabama. It was the Moving Pictures tours. I was 15. What a hell of a show that was. They let you take cameras in back then and I have some blurry shots. Negatives anyway... I want to blow them up.

6. From Algore42004.

He gave me some live bootlegs from the show in Tennessee. THey were quite good.

7. he sent them to me too

I told him about them, but I'm kind of out in the country so I'm on dialup. It was going to take me about 2 weeks to download them. So he sent them to me. He's really a nice guy. It's the best sounding boot I have ever heard in my life. It blows "All The World's A Stage" out of the water. (I was at that concert, and I think I may be the guy going "whooooo" during the early parts. If I am, I apologize. :) )

2. How do you like "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence"?

And also, are you big on any of the members' many side projects, such as Transatlantic with Neal Morse of Spock's Beard?

[coloradodem2005]

4. I have Six Degrees.

I like it. The thing is, I like Train of Thought better. As for side projects, I have both Liquid Tension Experiment albums. I don't have Transatlantic or O.S.I. but they sound interesting.

I am curious, was O.S.I. named after some hairbrained idea of the Bush administration? It sounds like it was.
