I want to thank everyone for the wonderful comments as well as the critiques! Paul, Steve and I have known each other since the mid to late 80s. Steve and Paul go back further. We have all trudged through the original band thing to varying degrees of success. We are all past that now but when the opportunity came to play with Sam, I knew I could not pass it up. It has given me a newfound joy to hopefully inspire and pass something on. We are grateful that so many are enjoying what we have put out here. That is inspiring to me and the band. Thank you. Looking forward to uploading some other tunes. -Jim Snowdogs drummer

Me now on the west coast, her on the east coast. Well... I joined the Navy as soon as I turned 17 (parent's permission required) in hopes of getting orders back east... But her dad was CIA and they moved all over Asia and Europe so we lost touch for 32 years! September 6, 2007, I found her sister on our high school's reunion website and gave her my number... My phone rang less than 5 minutes later, and there she was!! And as fate had it... We were both single. We talked on the phone for over THREE HOURS. That alone shocked my son, because I hate talking on the phone. Anyway, she flew out to Seattle the very next weekend and we picked up right where we left off... as if we were never apart. (Much less 32 years!) We married 2 months later, and will be together till the very end. 😁 There is so much more to the story that I honestly should write a book. Seriously. Both were married and divorced to partners that actually hated Rush!! 😡 Can you imagine?? That alone is legit grounds for divorce!

This totally took me back to my high school days of jamming this very same song on my own backyard patio. Thanks for keeping the great music of Rush alive, and doing it proper justice (no small feat!). Keep on rockin'! 🤘

🤯🤯🤯 RUSH. That 3 man band was Supernatural. Well done on this cover. Max difficulty from Vocals to the Rest. NICE!!!

Thank you, Snowdogs, for sharing your love with us.

Well done! I like how the singer came out, did the vocals, went back in the house and finished lunch, then returned to conclude the song.

Singing Rush tunes is tough for anyone regardless of age. Much props to little man. Been a RUSH fan since this song was new. Good job by all

Love the "Kneel Pert" on the drums! RIP Professor! Solid musicianship on a difficult song! The kid did a good job but needs to get over the shyness and rock it out. I think their voice just needs to be let out. Rush left a mark on me and I want to thank you for carrying on the legacy of my favorite band.

Im very impressed at this cover. This was WAY better than I expected it to be. The fact they have a little kid covering Geddy singing is also so funny I started laughing when he came out and started singing. And then again I was impressed. I would pay to go see this played live. 2112 was a defining piece of music in my life and will always invoke powerful emotions in me when I hear it.

I can't name one modern new band, not one. I don't have a clue as to what even gets played on the radio these days.
