Greetings Blog-Children.
Apologies once more for being incommunicado, as they say in Preston.
One thing I've recently learned, Blog-wise, is that I'm supposed to be able to create posts by email, but this function doesn't seem to be working in Sonic Blog. Maybe one of you techie-types out there could advise me on this.

Anyhoo, lots of activity around Chez Sonique of late, the upshot of which is a new Sonic -Neighbour for yours truly. A cup of tea was all it took for a thumb-nail sketch of his past to be revealed unto me....and an interesting one it is to be sure.
A Live for the Moment kinda guy with a musical CV in the troubled world of Hip Hop, his street-name back in the day was Devastatin' Dave, the Turntable Slave, no less.
Here's a shot of him in his turntable slavery days of the mid to late 80's.

He said it'd be fine to mention him in Sonic Blog, but would like his real name and location to remain a secret. Fair do's Dave said I.

Apparently, Dave had a been an off-the-peg pop-kid in his teens, until he experienced an epiphany of sorts whilst watching Miker-G & DJ Sven (Sweden's premier Old Skool rap pioneers) performing Holiday Rap on the Little & Large Seaside Roadshow in '86.

One thing led to another, and Devastating David, soon to become Devastatin' Dave, was born. Details of his performing career remain sketchy at the time of writing this, (he only moved in 2 weekends ago), but more details as and when I can get 'em.
Whatever the case, it's nice to have a neighbour with a musical pedigree for once, and from the Golden Era of Hip Hop no less. I shamefully must confess total ignorance of Devastatin's back-cat myself, but if anyone out there has any Devastatin' memories of his live shows etc., that you'd care to share, please feel free. I'm sure he'd be well pleased.
I won't say what line of work he's in these days, but it involves car-exhausts more often than it does turntables.

On a different topic, many of you have asked how Sonic BBQ2 (see previous post) is doing. The answer would have to be, very well indeed, thankyou. Very much one of the family. There is simply no finer way to cook tuna, take my word for it.
Expect cookery tips.
