~Dave~ Dave was born deep in a cave on Mercury, and traveled to Earth over seven hundred years ago. Dave is nourished by the vibration of the planet. He feeds on mechanical energy. In a way, he eats the song of Earth, and the songs of BeatnikBrown.

BeatnikBrown is phosphorescent. It gives off a jonquil-yellow light. Dave is translucent. When Dave is playing in BeatnikBrown, light from the band flows right through him. The yellow light from the band, however, is turned, when passed through Dave, to a vivid aquamarine.

Dave looks very much like a small and spineless kite. He is diamond-shaped, a foot high, and eight inches wide. He has no more thickness than the skin of a balloon. He has four feeble suction cups--one at each of his corners. These cups enable him to creep, something like a measuring worm, and to cling, and to feel out the places where the music is best. Having found a place that promises a good meal, Dave lays himself against the amp like wet wallpaper.

There is no way in which Dave can harm another creature, and no motive for his harming another. Hunger, envy, ambition, fear, indignation, religion, and sexual lust are irrelevant and unknown. He has only one sense: touch. He has weak powers of telepathy.

And Dave thinks you should listen to lots and lots of BeatnikBrown.
