Oh @Nandi_Bushell , you brought a tear to my eye with this tribute! Tom Sawyer is a difficult song to play drums to and you made it so much fun. Neil would have loved your performance and wonderful smile, as both Geddy and I do! - Alex

This one is for you Professor. I wanted to try a @rushtheband song that would really challenge me. I watched an interview were Neil Peart said Tom Sawyer 'remains so difficult to play'. So I thought I would give it a try. It's actually really fun to play

On May 24, 1974, I placed the first Rush LP, on Moon Records, into rotation at WMMS in Cleveland. Back then, who could have predicted that 47 years later, Rush would still be so important in so many people's lives? I'm glad it turned out that way!
