I DJ'd at a wedding last summer that he attended. 

I really wanted to go upto him and do my slappa da bass impression... glad I stopped myself.   The local record shop owner tells me  He grew up in my new hood (Beaches Toronto).

[Velvet 151]

any deets? Lots of 45-60 yr old dudes in black t-shirts maybe?

Did he do a Q&A or was is more of a lineup and a one on one for a minute or two?

Geddy did an hour-long interview with CBC Radio host Alan Neal. The place was almost entirely full of Rush geeks of all ages.  Geddy's hilarious stories were mostly about the interviews he did with other notable bass players when he put together his book, and also about the bass players and music that influenced his playing. He had a funny Jewish mother joke (not the 1st time I've heard him tell it) which earned a round of applause! After a handful of questions from audience members, all attendees  bought the book lined up to get it autographed and to bask in his glow for 15-20 seconds.
