Mellotronists

I just heard some very bad news.  Elliott Smith, 34, has just died in 
Los Angeles of an apparent suicide.

     He was an excellent singer / songwriter who used a Chamberlin on his 
recordings (played by Jon Brion?).  I caught him on Saturday Night Live once, 
complete with Chamberlin.  His CD "XO" still gets heavy rotation in my car's CD 
player.  I know that he had at least a couple of fans on this list.  

     He will be missed.
