December 2001: Glad to hear that Rush is back in the studio working on a new album. I'm still not doing much with this page, but I have thrown some of the submitted-but-never-posted stuff into a single zip file (2001-12-new-unsorted rush midis.zip) and I think anything in future will just be tossed into that and that's about that.
FYI, I recorded a coupla Rush cover songs for my first album. Visit www.bigasssuperstar.com for more.
