What Was Said I loved jazz, played it all through high school. That’s where I learned how to arrange and write music, how to play in every key. People thought I was this strange, tiny, small-town kid, the son of working-class parents, going to California to learn jazz. My family was in the dry-cleaning business. [...]

What Was Said I was at a festival called Cal-Jam, and one of your countrymen, April Wine, was playing. And I had gone there because I wanted to see UFO, because I dug Michael Schenker, and VAN HALEN was playing too. And everybody I was with was getting high, and I was really young and [...]

It’s not a worthwhile conversation. – Michel Pagliaro responding to a question about why he hasn’t released any new material since 1988 (Montreal Gazette) Rarely taking artistic [...]

What Was Said Fa la la la la, la la la la. Yes, it’s that special time of year again. The time when musical stars wrap a woolly scarf around their necks, clutch a pile of empty boxes tied up with big ribbons and pose in a polystyrene peanut snowstorm for the cover of their [...]

What Was Said For a business that has been watching its own erosion for a decade, the music world’s biggest surprise this year was that the old major record labels are still worth a good deal of money. The labels have taken their knocks. Sales of recorded music are half of what they were in [...]
