Quote from: Charlie Dominici on FB
‎..from the Huron Daily Tribune; It has now been discovered that Mr Rudess had been playing a solo on his Morphwiz and the notes were being played so fast that they caused a vortex in the water that nearly swallowed up and capsized a nearby boater.Mr Rudess would have been charged with "wreckless keyboard playing" if not for the fact that he saved the boater from drowning. Compete story on the next DT album.

LOL, DTF definitely does this better than Charlie Dominici!  :lol

He could've sailed by on the winds on silence, and maybe they wouldn't have noticed. But this time he though it'd be better if he swam.

Maybe not a good idea in hindsight.

He's obviously trying pretty hard to post at least once per day on Twitter.  When it's not about his music, it's often some mundane thing about his day, like "Took a walk today" or "Listened to Octavarium today", or shock of shocks, "played keyboards a lot today".  If he's gonna post that stuff, he's entitled to post about a relatively exciting boating incident.

good thing it was not a fatal tragedy because jordan didn't take his time to save him form being surrounded in ice. that dude should have worn his space life vest. even if he would have been a silent man, he would have said to jordan, "In the name of god, thanks for saving this dying soul, I would have died as I am alone here. I will be learning to live  from now on".

Jordan said to him "you were lucky that you werent in in the presence of enemy pt.1 sharks". "yes." replied the man. "I was lucky I was not in the presence of enemy pt.2 sharks.
