Well... -the only word which raised my eyebrows a bit was "bullshitter", which to me
usually means someone who knows or understands rather much less than they discuss... but not exclusively, I'll readily admit.
SSC was less of that sort of person, though I did disagree with much stuff that he published, he also made some towering contributions, and he WAS a character...! -Pretty soon there may come a time when there is a dearth of character; -who knows?
Anyhow, for now I prefer to dwell on the decent stuff that he did: Elsewhere I posted a story about an encounter I had with Adrian Gurvitz when I was pitching for engineering an album mix in the mid-1980's, and those of you in the UK who were around in that period will only associate the name with a single hit that he had...
...That hit was MADE by a marshall time modulator.
No need to repeat the whole thing here, but there are other
wonderful things that have been done by time modulators, and if anyone ever bumps into me over a glass of something frosty, I can be firmly relied upon to warm to the task of recounting a few tales... A couple of folks here know how it is when I get into fireside story mode! :wink:
Anyhow, while David has apparently signed an NDA with the SSC estate, I can at least attest to his willingness to help out and share other information: in fact only last week I got into a bit of a bind with an SSL matter, and David was one person whom I did turn to, though I generally try to get things worked out by myself first, if only for pride's sake! (It
hurts to ask for help sometimes! :wink
