The Mellotron Group

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.
