"If I Knew Just What to Say"

Written by Patrick Logier
Performed and recorded
by Roger Whitaker

AMG EXPERT REVIEW:

This 16-track, 54-minute discount-priced anthology eschews the greatest-hits approach (the nearest thing is the 1978 easy-listening chart entry "If I Knew Just What to Say") in favor of Roger Whittaker's takes on ballads and light pop songs of the 1970s, most associated with other performers. As usual, Whittaker's interpretations are simultaneously warm and uninvolved...

Pat Logier was born 23 years ago in Sarnia Ontario, and learned from his father to play the piano and read music at an early age. As soon as he developed a feel for the piano, Pat began trying to read music of his own, heavily influenced by the classical music on which he had been weaned. When Pat was 15, a growing interest in folk and rock persuaded him to learn the guitar, the instrument he most often uses now. After two years studying journalism at a college in Sarnia, he moved to London to pursue music more seriously. For the past three years, Pat has been a regular featured performer at London's Change of Pace Coffeehouse, (formally Smale 's Pace), and he also appeared in the 1977 and 1978 Home County Folk Festivals. Two years ago, Pat's song 'If I knew Just What To Say" was released in a single world-wide by singer Roger Whitaker.

Blair Heddle was born in 1957 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and moved with his family to St. Thomas, Ontario, in 1965. By this time he was playing harmonica, and since then has also learned guitar, bass, mandolin, flute, banjo, fiddle, penny whistle and the button accordion. Blair's first professional playing was with Cumberland Wail, a London-based bluegrass-oriented group, in 1976. He has since been performing at bars and Festivals throughout the country in various bluegrass, country and jazz ensembles, as well as playing with the Forest City Morris and Sword Team. Blair and Pat have been playing together since mid-1979, generally accompanied by bassist Doug Hux.
