ABOUT ME
Born: Toronto, 1963 (yeah, in THAT century! Im old, eh :( ) Lived in Barrie Ontario (or close to it, Thornton actually) for 20 years. I lived there when the big tornado went through may 31, 1985. I was a few miles south of it, but still a scary thing. I spent most of my life in the middle of nowhere. Farmland. Very few people. Not much to do. Good thing I liked playing piano and guitar! I started piano when I got one on my 11th birthday. I started guitar in 1980. Im now living in Toronto again. I've been here since 1987. Its great in a lot of ways, but not great in other ways. Traffic is really bad now. Way too many people. But the beach is really nice!! Cant complain... who'd listen? So I work, work, work... and at night and on weekends I take a few minutes here and there and write some music. Finally I have a cd finished and I hope to hell people like it and buy it, so I can make some money and do this all the time!! :) THE NAME Ok, before you ask... here's where the name came from: Its a joke from a tv show called South Park. It was suggested by my friend Katy from WV. The joke is a simple one about Canada. Its refering to our relatively small popoulation (considering we're the second largest country in the world) and when one character calls a guy named Scott, who lived in Canada, he assumes there's only ONE Scott in the whole country. So when he hears someone say hello, he asks "Is this Scott from Canada??". Well, its MUCH funnier in the actual show (an episode called Not Without My Anus). It loses a little when I translate it to Canadian from its native american, eh. As for why... well, I didn't want it to just be my name on there. For now it's just me, but I hope to get a singer, and maybe work with other musicians some day! And if I ever get to play live, well, obviously there will be a whole band and crew and everything, so I didn't like the idea of my name being up front when it was actually a LOT of people making it happen. Seemed kinda egotistical to me. So I preferred the idea of a "Band name", but couldn't think of one. When Katy suggested Scott From Canada, it seemed odd at first but it made sense! It was funny (once you know the joke), it has my name, and it has my location, yet its not exactly the same as having "SCOTT ROGERS" on there. Yeah, its close, but not quite. So since I couldnt come up with anything better, it's official!! |
