   I don't know except that Geddy said recently that Neil was giving his daughter   
   drum lessons.     
      
   Geddy & Alex remained hopeful about the possibility for future Rush albums for   
   a few years after the last tour; but clearly Neil's indicated it's not going   
   to happen.  I had been hopeful, too.  I mean, he likes to write; and he'd   
   record all of his drum    
   parts in a single day.  I'd have thought he'd have agreed to another album or   
   two.     
      
   Anyway, Lifeson said recently that he hoped his collaborations with Geddy   
   would continue, and Geddy's said similar things about working with Alex.  So   
   things could be worse.
