   Well, ok, I'd forgotten whether Holdsworth plays on the title track, which
Peart is also given credit for, but he does play on the album in places.
Technicalities, technicalities. However, on the "Marabi" tune, isn't Steve
Smith also given credit for the drum work? Who played which parts? I've tried
to keep up with a samba beat on bass, and it's no easy task; it's got to be
hell on the drummer. I've found a new appreciation for Chuck Mangione and
Santana.
    n.n., if I get inspired, I'll try to wade through "La Villa Strangiato" and
let you know if it ever goes anywhere. Geddy's one longer solo break is going
to be a mess.
