I'm Always Scouring The Universe For Great Old Instruments From The '50s And Early '60s. That's Really, For Me, The Golden Age Of Basses, When They Had Just Been Invented Within 10 Years Of That Period And They Had Just Started To Come Into Their Own, Especially The Old Fender Jazz Basses And Old Rickenbackers And Gibsons. I'm Always On The Lookout. It's Fun.

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.

Back In The Day, Fans Wrote Letters To Groups - You'd Get Them, Although It Could Take A While. Now, Artists Can Go Online And There's Discussions About What You Should And Shouldn't Be Doing. The Minute You Announce That You're Recording An Album, Thousands Of People Are Telling You What That Album Should Be.

I Like To Be Able To Come And Go As I Please, And I Don't Really Like Having My Face And Name Plastered Around. I Think It's A Bit Weird To Have Your Name Plastered On Every Page In A Magazine, Where In Each Case You're Using A Different Piece Of Equipment.

So, I Really Don't Consider Myself A Fabulous Keyboard Player.
