Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on what he thought of you) he died in the middle of a City Council session, after making a very loud and vocal protest about I'm not sure what.
A very colourful bloke. I'm pleased to have known him, although I can't say he was easy to put up with. A great sound engineer though.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
