Like anything with longevity attached to it, the more time you spend doing something, the more time you encounter outlying situations that can be lesson learning opportunities. For this article, I am going to talk about three distinct and unique personalities I have encountered over the years.
The John Rutsey
Back in the 1960’s, there was a Canadian by the name of John Rutsey. He loved hockey and music. Based upon his geographical location he became close friends with a classmate named Alex Lifeson. Eventually, their love of music spawned them to begin learning music themselves to the point where they joined forces with a guy named Geddy Lee and released a self-titled album for their band "Rush." John Rutsey was the first drummer of the band that consisted of guitar, bass and drums. Facing musical differences and health concerns, Rutsey left the band and was replaced with Neil Peart — which was the game changer for the band that continued to release albums and tour effectively for the next 41 years.
