It's very sad to hear that Jon has passed. I didn't know him, but it is obvious that he had a great influence on our list. That's good. My best to his family.

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. Frank
