I lived the times of David night club …the Manatee….Studio II ….the Barn…The Carriage House….I was a famous performer “Vicki Sue” in all. Most importantly, those places were what natured us and engulfed us to a community.

The first picture just brought back one of the great memories I have of music in Toronto. The Eros party was where I witnessed Mark Oliver walk in with a bag of records he had purchased THAT DAY at Play de Record, pull the records out and play a flawless set. At that point in my life, I had to “live with” new music for several days before I even knew if I wanted to play it, but Mark didn’t have to do anything more than audition tracks at the store, put them in a plastic sack, and then know instinctively how they would fit together best.
He became my DJ hero that night, and doing what he did became my goal. I came sort of close to achieving that goal…once.
