Do you know that Sabian cymbals are manufactured about 40 miles from here? And that the name SABIAN is derived from Bob Zildjian's kids: SAlly, BIlly, ANdy? They were a client of mine when I worked in economic development for federal government. GREAT company

SABIAN cymbals

My son the drummer, loved them both. I was impressed. The NHL number was cool.

A LOT of tough years for Neil between those two performances though.

Apparently, it's not really an "album" per se. A few songs here - see how they go - few more songs there.... Sounds kind of neat

Yep, this is exactly what I've been hearing about them on XM lately. Geddy Lee has said "they think albums (CD's) are no longer relevent".
