The Tale of the SOHOian
Renaissance
In the year of
dwindling hope, nineteen hundred and ninety two, a heavy fog of
boredom and sleepiness settled upon Rivertown, whose fair and gentle
inhabitants are known by many as The People of the Fountain. Lo,
The People of the Fountain didst resigneth themselves, man, woman,
and child alike, to a laborsome existence devoid of mirth and merriment,
for the Tavern Keepers provideth them with only mundane jesters,
minstrels and artisans. Lo Season after season, The people of the
Fountain offered intercession, alms(charity to poor), and fasting
in hope of winds of change that might blow new life into their fair
Valley. They longed for their displeasure to be heard and then,
amid this hot and humid climate, didst the People of the Fountain
turn their eyes to the North, where cometh From the Empire of Vulcan
(Birmingham) not one but two Bohemians,of uncommon vision, Dave
and Vickie, - prophet and prophetess in their countenance. Prophet
David and Prophetess Vickie did speak thusly to the masses "Lo ye
of despair, We bringeth you a voice, and this voice through which
you will speaketh shall be known as "Playgrounds"". Prophet
David and Prophetess Vickie set forth to provide a voice for the
artisans, minstrels and jesters. And Lo, the people of the Fountain
rejoiced, and broke into merriment! And long didst their celebrating
persist - ten winters and ten summers in length.
Yet, after ten
years of servitude in beauty and art, Prophet David and Prophetess
Vickie saw the masses falling prey again to despair. Realizing the
limits of mere critique, and the failings in the entertainment scene,
long they pondered, and to a new, bolder quest didst they pledge.
Not again would their land have to march to the tune of merely local
minstrels who purvey cheap imitations of their forefathers. The
Bohemians set forth to bring grand change. They found a room where
The People of the Fountain could gather. They then enlisted the
help of Sir Dennis"He of the Golden Ears" to make the sound most
sweet. They recruited the finest servers of the land to pour wine
and spirits for the people, Ladies Lisa, Sandy, Elizabeth, Mandy
and Wendy and Lord Stephen, and Lord Jason. They then sent scouts
forth to the four corners and obtained new minstrels playing original
tunes of intrigue for the People of the Fountain and they reveled
in their new found merriment. And thus was SOHO born! And Lo, on
any night of the week you can partake of the fruits of their labor.
And the People of the Fountain smile, and rejoice unto this day.
