He started performing in the Montreal area nightclubs at 16 years old and saved enough money to buy a second-hand Steinway Concert Grand piano. After several months of continuous exposure to his newly acquired instrument, Vic decided it was time for professional guidance.

Vic Vogel: Je Joue Mon Piano

Read "Je Joue Mon Piano" reviewed by Ronald B. Weber, MD


Well, the title--which translates to I Play My Piano certainly does tell the truth about Montreal, Canada's iconic musical father figure.
