I'm so sorry to hear the news.I really didn't know Jon but from what you all have said he sounded like a great guy.
I did go to his myspace page and love the Tintagel music.I hope it gets released.
Sincerely,
Pete

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.
