DOG & PONY Pals

DOG & PONYSound is the 'lovechild" of
Christopher
(Dog) and Danni (Pony)...




Having met one night
(Friday, June 9th, 2000 at 10:20pm to be more precise) in a (ahem) karaoke bar, it was only a matter of time (and money and effort and determination) to realize the statement...
"let's take this 'dog and pony show' on the road"

Eventually...we moved off of the road and into a few choice
nightclubs & bars....

Christopher is a man of many talents.

As a young entrepreneur he owned a successful DJ company and enjoyed many years as both a Nightclub and Radio DJ.

He explored careers in graphic design and teaching, became proficient in many aspects of computing, and also nurtured an interest in the humanities to earn a degree in nursing, but eventually returned to his love of music which culminated into this shared venture.

Danni has always loved music.

She taught herself how to play guitar as a preteen and became a singer songwriter during her early 20's.

An interest in the humanities later inspired her to earn a degree in Psychology from Carleton University, eventually publishing an independent study on The Self Medication Hypothesis.

After discovering a love of computers, she became a Web Developer and IT Consultant, eventually merging all of her interests into one shared adventure with her best friend and partner..

Dog & Pony's Story:
Their paths have crossed and recrossed many times throughout the course of their lives without ever having met.

Christopher (aka Dog), thought to be descended (eight times over) from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was born and raised in North Bay. "Doyle's Hill" was named for the clan (which added 25¢ to One's cab fare in 1932). Family legend has it that a keg of horseshoe nails was sent to his great-grandfather Alexander Doyle on "the north bay of Lake Nippissing". Hence the name "North Bay".

Danni (aka Pony) was "made" in Germany, born in France, and raised in Canada. A "military brat", she moved many times during her school years and eventually also lived in North Bay.

Not surprisingly, Christopher knew most of the girls at the school Danni attended. They also worked in the same mall; Danni at the North end and Christopher at the South end. They never met.

In 1980, Danni moved to Ottawa. A few years later, Christopher moved to Ottawa. They worked on the same street, lived in the same neighbourhood(s), used the same laundry mats and corner stores...and still had NEVER met.

In 1988, Danni attended Carleton University. Every morning, She walked past the store where Christopher worked to bring her son to Daycare on campus which was located in one of the residences where Christopher also stayed when he visited his girlfriend...and ...still...they hadn't met.

Danni moved to a different neighbourhood. Christopher moved to that same neighbourhood. And .....still...they hadn't met.

Christopher married & divorced, Danni had two more kids...Life kept them both busy.

Then one June evening...

(June 9th, 2000 at 10:20pm) they met for the 1st time at a bar appropriately called "The Rendezvouz" and the rest is history...
