Thanks Frank for bringing this up.  Whether you knew Jon or not (I remember his him, but didn't know him) - we should honor those who were one of us!!

 

Hope to see you later Jon - Craig

For those of you who, like me, have wondered about the absence of Jon Salley from these groups, a little sleuthing by Martin Smith seems to have turned up the unfortunate answer...

 

Jon E. Salley

·         BORN: March 10, 1954

·         DIED: May 14, 2010

·         LOCATION: KS

Sadly Jon has left us. I recall that he was sick, but never considered the possibility that he had died. I figured he got tired or bored. I for one will miss him terribly. I can remember any number of great and amusing off list exchanges over the years. He was one of my very first friends when I joined the Mellotronists list many years back and he was a very funny guy. and also very talented.

 

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