Speaker 1 (00:00):
Adam in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Hello, Hello Rush, Thank you
so much for taking my call. Marry Christmas, and sir,
you are definitely family to me. No, it's not open
lines Friday, but I need to tell you what I
mean by family. UM. Grow up, lifelong listener thanks to
my father Jeffrey and my grandfather Monroe. UM, we've always

(00:23):
listened to you, and my grandfather was fortunate enough to
go see you live in your studio. Yeah. He passed
away when I was in high school, and when I
think of him, I can picture him clearly. I picture
him in your studio looking up at the monitors like
he's not supposed to lick in his lips. Three years ago,

(00:46):
I was driving with my wife after a particularly rough year,
turned on the radio and you were there. Started to
tear up, and my wife said, what's going on? I said,
because when I listen to Rush, when I listen to you,
I remember my grandfather and I remember my father who
lives in South Carolina. And every time I hear you

(01:10):
were all three together. Your voice, sir, transcends time and space.
Whether you're listening in heaven, are you're listening on this earth.
We all. Thank you. That is heart stopping, that's that's
that's incredible. And you know I I happen to know

(01:31):
what you mean, which is why it's so meaningful. I've
had I've had similar um things happened. Just a short
example here. I remember. One of the reasons I like
Mannheim steam Roller is I was in an airplane around
Christmas time and I was I was flying out to California.
I had a rush Jacksons tour stopped, had to do.

(01:54):
My father had recently passed away. I was thinking about him,
and I'm looking out the window. I've got a window
sea and it's a crystal clear night with with the
moon just as as visible as it can be, and
Mannheim steam Rollers on my my tape deck. That's what
we used back then to listen to music. There were
no such thing as I pods or things that and

(02:17):
so I've had this. I've had marvelous rememberings remembrances of
of my dad while I'm listening to Mannheim steam Roller.
And it made me every time I heard Mannheim steam
Roler's what made me think of my dad. It was
we all have these connections. I am so honored and
flattered to be yours that I'm on what to say,

(02:38):
I just have this profound appreciation. I'm glad you got through,
and I really really do appreciate very much all of
that
