Soundbites
“It’s about building relationships. I just got lucky. I would take any gig. I didn't care if it paid. It didn't matter, as long as I could be around the business all my life.” – Scott Page
On the story of Supertramp, “Bob Siebenberg, the drummer, used to come into my gig all the time, and I didn't know who he was. One day, I asked him, ‘What are you doing?’ He says, ‘We're cutting a record. We're a band called Supertramp.’ Then a while later, I got a call.” – Scott Page
“At the end of the day, it is about building relationships and being kind to people. I had the pleasure of having a business with Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones was the most remarkable person because when he spoke to you, you knew he was100 percent attentive on you- if you’re a fan, whatever.” – Scott Page
