Dont know about his place in Santa Ana... but its good to see him doing well again. He's been thru some pretty hard times the past several years.

Indeed he has! I read his book "Ghost Rider" about a year ago and was quite shocked to read the full story about his horrible loss. I'm not sure what I would do if I had been in the same situation. Very-very sad what happened to Neil!

I also recently purchased a copy of his instructional DVD "A Work In Progress". By far the best $45.00 investment I have made in years. If you've ever dreamed of being able to watch Neil play up close, this DVD is a must have! I've watched him play all of the tunes from the "Test For Echo" album in the "performance only" section of the DVD at least a dozen times or more to carefully study his techniques, and I shake my head in total amazement every time. :hail:



<----------- anxiously awaiting the release of his new drum solo DVD on Nov. 1st.

What happened?

His daughter was killed in a car accident during her maiden voyage from home to college, followed shortly by his wife Jackie surcoming to and dying from cancer.

Sure is! Both deaths occured within a 10-month period. My heart really goes out to him for having the courage and the willpower to deal with such a traumatic tragedy.

He remarried a few years ago and moved from Canada to Cali., apparently somewhere in Santa Ana or the San Fernando valley.

IIRC, he took a cleansing road trip on his motorcycle 'round the world, thus the impetus for Ghost Rider.

Inspirational dude all the way!

I dont own any of his instructional tapes, but I did see him live on the Power Windows tour.

Yes, 55,000 miles on his BMW in 14 months to search for a reason to stay alive.


I saw him play live for the first time in my life last year in Tampa, FL during the R30 tour. Man...what a show!!
