How many of you are aware that the rhythm in the intro of the Rush song YYZ is from the Morse code for YYZ? YYZ is of course the code for Toronto International Airport.

Never noticed. I have noticed that you can swing "73", though.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

Being a 30 year CW op, the most musical calls i've ever heard were NE5E and UU2NNO. Run those a few times and tell me it doesnt get stuck in your head. The poor UU2 op couldnt call CQ without people having fun with it.
The louder the monkey, the smaller its balls.
I wouldn't know.
They lost me at "Today's Tom Sawyer, he's High on YOU!"
I know Neal Peart is a genius, but I never got into Rush.
Pointless (useless) info is the glue that holds this place together. Just ask "Gorilla Glue" Carl.

One of my buds in high school could play percussion from Rush like in his sleep. But he could not handle Morse code. He had no rhythm for that whatsoever.
TKX has got rhythm, but I bang the drum slowly.

The band "M" had one if I recall, but it escapes me.
Ah, I remember one!
