About Gary Pig Gold

A very young Gary first discovered mighty 1050-CHUM-AM out of Toronto, then saw those Beatles on Ed Sullivan, the next day turned an old tennis racquet of his dad's into his first guitar, soon formed his first band from two words out of "I Am The Walrus," later quit University to follow a friend's bar band to Newfoundland, ended up in London and followed Joe Strummer's advice to start Canada's first self-published music magazine "The Pig Paper," got cold and moved southwest to Surf City to almost tour Australia with Jan & Dean, had some time in New York City and had the first album he ever produced released on Melodiya Records, meanwhile wrote a song for a Brady Bunch movie, was featured instead in a movie about Jandek, sang sessions with Pat Boone, Jim Carroll and Andrew Loog Oldham, paid recorded tribute to the Bay City Rollers, Gene Pitney and R. Stevie Moore, contributed to books on Dylan, bubblegum, Johnny Dowd and The Viletones ...yet somehow still has names left to drop all across his very own Backpages Blog.
