[sdiy] Fw: John Simonton

[Ian Fritz]

Bad news, indeed.  He couldn't have been all that old.

My interest in building synths was sparked by an early set of articles John 
wrote in one of the popular electronics magazines.  It was while I was 
looking at one of these that I saw a tiny ad for a newsletter called 
"Electronotes".  While I only ever actually built one of John's designs, I 
bought several of the manuals to study his techniques.  Unfortunately, he 
was pretty much off the sdiy list by the time I joined, so I never had any 
interaction with him.  But I was always impressed with his willingness to 
sell his manuals without the kits and with all the free circuits and 
information he put up on the PAIA website.
