    Still just amazing. Worked with Alfie in Toronto for a while in the early 80s. Also his drummer in Surrender Paul Delaney and lighting guy Brad Campaign (now sadly deceased). Miss those days. ALL of Alfie's music was the theme of my 80s driving around Toronto in my Jeep. Miss those days.

      I hear you loud and clear. Alfie’s music played a big part of my life and one of my music favourites in the 80’s. I too miss those days. Have moments wishing that was possible. I had a 1986 Camaro IROC with Alfie blasting! Lots of great memories.

    He could have been huge but he didn't want to sell out and put out music he didn't love. I saw him at an Italian restaurant last week. We were disappointed he didn't play very many hits from the 80's but he explained why

    I keep coming back to a few Canadian artists that meant the 80s to me and have never left my soul. Of course Paul Janz and Alfie Zappacosta who I managed to speak to at the Misty Moon on Barrington st. in Halifax somewhere near 1990. Hard to believe that was 34 years ago. Are these 2 guys in the Canadian music hall of fame? They sure as hell should be.

    Well this takes me back to my youth & the fantastic Surrender & Zappacosta albums! What a performance, his voice has just got better with age & this is one of my favourite songs of his (there are many!). I'm from England so very fortunate to have discovered Alfie back in the 80's as only a few are even aware of him over here! Such emotion in his voice & such a fantastic songwriter, thanks again Alfie.

Such a nice person would love to get his autograph and say hi to him...I will keep an eye out more on his schedule for concerts and if he is ever in Alberta for a concert once I am back living there I will definitely go see Zappacosta.
