[Steve Taylor (Sidd)]

We should not take information from the history books concerning Ellie Mannette. There are sufficient videos which he did where he explained what he did.Most of the films are constant in what he says. No one alive or dead never challenged him. Forever hold their peace. Suffice it to say he did a lot up until his death today. He was a pan creator/tuner par excellence.
