How are you?!? Enjoy your site a lot. I wanted to throw my hat in the ring for consideration to be reviewed/interviewed on BandsLikeRush.com
I'm a solo artist that records indie prog rock where I play all the instruments. I've been a huge Rush fan since age 7.
Lately I've been incorporating a stronger singer-songwriter element but the Rush feel is still very strong (inescapable at this point!)
So I've just finished my third solo record, called “Fortune Cookie”. Probably the most Rush like bits are the “Afterimage” instrumental part in the song “The World Fictive”, and, well, most all the guitar solos have a serious Lerxst-bent. And there are many Geddy-isms in the bass playing. And I lifted the drum part for “You Know I Need You” from the verses in “Anagram for Mongo”.

Thanks Ben!
This weekend would be fine Friday or Saturday. I've never used Skype but I bet I can figure it out
Found your site through Rushisaband.com
Look forward to it!
