  • "We holed up at Chalet Studios where we'd spend ten weeks deep in demos for Roll the Bones...It was idyllic there...[The] crew could yuk it up around the pool table playing Scoozball while I topped up the bird feeders and kept an eye out for evening grosbeaks and goldfinches."

    - Geddy Lee, lead vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist for Rush in his memoir ‘My Effin' Life’
