I later took professional lessons from big band drummer “Buddy Pennington”. Buddy taught me finesse and patience. He brought my previous five years of training together – making sense of all that I had learned. Now I was free to learn as much RUSH as humanly possible with the gear I had at the time. Neil Peart was and still is my hero!!
Many bands and many fun times would follow. I lived on the road traveling from city to city for many years. One band I was in, Holy Order, was signed to a label based out of Surrey England and was sold world wide. In the early 1990s this was a major victory for someone from a small city like Fredericton, New Brunswick Canada – my home.
