Great story about how an American was drawn to Toronto by Rush.
I was a 14-year-old in, of all places, the subdivisions of St. Louis when I learned about Rush.My friend Bret alerted me to this weird Canadian trio. Bret knew about them because his cool older sister, between her apparent penchant for Zeppelin, Steely Dan and the Moody Blues, got “A Farewell to Kings.”

One of my favorites.
Is there a better Canadian singer than Neil Young?
Spotify got me to listen through some archives of Neil’s.
I don’t think he ever topped Live Rust/Rust Never Sleeps.

No this isn’t the cowardly lion you’re seeing.
It’s Robert Plant, who did an amazing job belting out a few Led Zeppelin signature vocals at his Toronto outdoor show.
Surrounding himself with some outstanding musicians, he seemed most content with the wide ranging musical sounds from his lead guitarists and fantastic fiddler.
The evening ended with opening act Sheryl Crowe doing an upbeat and powerful closing duet with the satisfied septagenerian.
@Ruellemusic you’re my fave find of 2018. Your music reminds me of @Alanis and @guysigsworth. What beautiful pipes and a unique sound you make.
