That is what intrigues me; songwriting and song structure and expression.

I have a lot of hobbies and I can be very remiss in reminding myself to go down to the basement to work.

I like to practice on the bass, but I don't do it as often as I should.

I would like to think that Ben and myself have begun a partnership that will take us into different areas of music that we can continue to write, enjoy and keep me involved with music other then what I do with RUSH.

It's a battle between record company, between producer and between mastering engineer. Because the louder you make your record in a digital process, the more dynamics are squished out of it. Nobody knows exactly what happens, but the dynamics in the performance disappear, and everything is at the same volume.

I guess, we were people who just dedicated to trying to get better.

Some writing and production projects will be a great way to spend my elderly rock years.
