Mike Pleau Dies In Calgary At 54

Condolences to the family and friends of MIKE PLEAU, an institution of the CALGARY music scene and regarded as one of the finest independent music store owners in the country, who died over the weekend, suffering a massive heart attack at the age of 54.

"People told Mike he was crazy (when he started Megatunes) because in those days it was all about the big chains, (music stores like) A&A and SAM THE RECORD MAN -- that was the competition and they could sell their records for less than MIKE could buy them for," says NEIL MACGONIGILL, the owner of CALGARY indie label INDELIBLE MUSIC.
