RUSH - LIMELIGHT - DRUM COVER - Adam Johnston

Limelight I thought this was an easy song to play until I started playing it. LOL!
it still amazes how Neil changes phrasing, rhythms and accents every other verse. This song was super fun to finish and pull off. It took a few takes to get it right. This is what we do in the middle of a pandemic, Re learn Rush songs and make videos. Enjoy!

[@adamjohnston2311]

LOL! I wish! Thanks for your kind words but Neil was the master/ professor I only wish to come close to copy what he did. He has been my inspiration since I was 13. I heard 2112 and I was hooked.
