The origin of the Disco Superfly:
Let me start by saying how touching it is to ready the wonderful thoughts posted here to date.
I have been lucky to know King Billy snce the mid 90's and have heard stories of the legend dating back into the mid 80's.
The eastiest way to explain / quatify the life of Bill prior to 2000, was to realise that there was nothing that I know of that he did not excel at if he was invloved. School captain, dux, international athlete, coding gurushwami, genuine good bloke.
In my mind all of these achievements are outweighed by the amazing friends he made. It was through his relationships with us all that Bill achieved his greatest feat.
The Disco Super Fly (DSF) was born in 1999 in the shadowy gallows of the orginal Saratoga, completed by the infamous clear lensed, black rimmed dancing goggles. (incidently these were rumoured to have been discarded due to a continous fogging problem related to the impact his outrageous dance moves had on his bodies temperature regulating devices!). This is how the Bill that you all knew and loved entered this new world.
He rapidly became entranced by the dance culture, finally finding a place for "weekday Bill" to achieve undisputable excellence in the social world you all helped him create.
Form this point on, you (collectively) can all end the story. "The Bill we knew partied like a rockstar" (RT 2002). Each time from here on in that I floated into Bills life, I was amazed at the how successful you were all truely making him.
I am sure if there was one word Bill could say now it would be:
Thankyou.
