Yes,so very sad.

Madeeven sadder for me, because of the song I'm currently working on forthe new album, which is about loss and unfulfilled potential.

Condolencesto his family.

Weare less for his passing.

It's very sad to hear that Jon has passed.  I didn't knowhim, but it is obvious that he had a great influence on our list. That's good.  My best to his family.     -Bruce D. --- On Tue, 10/12/10, lsf5275@aol.com <lsf5275@aol.com>wrote: From: lsf5275@aol.com<lsf5275@aol.com> Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Re: Jon E.

Salley BORN: March 10, 1954 DIED: May 14, 2010 LOCATION: KS Sadly Jon has left us. I recall that he wassick, but never considered the possibility that he had died. I figuredhe got tired or bored. I for one will miss him terribly. I can rememberany number of great and amusing off list exchanges over the years. Hewas one of my very first friends when I joined the Mellotronists listmany 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. Healso has his personal and Tintagel Myspace pages. Go listen to hismusic. Pretty damn good.   Frank
