Getting Better Acquainted

This is an introduction to Dave who is the host of GBA. It was Episode 1 of the series and had 130 plays at the time of it being ACCIDENTALLY DELETED. It has been re-posted out of sequence because there was no way of putting it back where it belonged.

Dave tells stories from his past, some funny, some sad, some a mixture of both, featuring two live stories told at Spark London events: http://www.sparklondon.com/

In GBA 21 we get better acquainted with Navin. He talks about music, music, and more music: A defence of Queen, taking a shower in music, how music affects him, music history and the thorny problems of forming bands and making music in the Internet Age.

Navin plugs:

His own accoustic solo music: http://www.myspace.com/energybox1980

He asks for people to try and make fan forums that are nice environments to talk in.
