Nina, TWICE. Once in a punk-dump of a tavern in T.O. waaay back. Dangerous. Again at the Rock Pile / Masonic. In latter, she introduced us to a break dancing crew ... and wound up dressing down an anti-appreciative punk crowd circa late 70s(?) "YOU FOLKS NEED TO WAKE UP. THIS IS THE FUTURE".

Kinda like when David Bowie and Brian Eno were recording Heroes, Eno went to à club where Donna Summer's I Feel Love was playing, and he said "this is going to change club music forever!"
