Forthose of you who, like me, have wondered about the absence of Jon Salley fromthese groups, a little sleuthing by Martin Smith seems to have turned up theunfortunate answer...

SadlyJon has left us. I recall that he was sick, but never considered thepossibility that he had died. I figured he got tired or bored. I for one willmiss him terribly. I can remember any number of great and amusing off listexchanges over the years. He was one of my very first friends when I joined theMellotronists list many years back and he was a very funny guy. and also verytalented.

Jon hadbeen working on a new project, Tintagel. He has a web site, but it doesn't looklike he ever completed it. He also has his personal and Tintagel Myspace pages.Go listen to his music. Pretty damn good.
