On Saturday I received the following email from Kieran Halpin ******************* Hi Some of you may already have heard this dreadful news. It is with great sadness that I must tell you that Chris Jones died on September 13. He was 46 years old and had cancer. The end was quick for him as he was only in hospital for a little over a week and he had friends with him. Many of you will be as devastated as I am at this news. Chris gave great joy through his music over many years. Many of you came to his concerts, bought his CD's and some spent time with him often late into the night. Like many, Chris had no health insurance and there is now a large hospital bill. Chris's friend and producer, Gunther Pauler of Stockfisch Records is paying the bill at the moment. He has set up a bank account so that anyone who likes to can pay some small donation to help. It is one small way for us all to show our sadness and say thank you to a great musician. There are a couple of ways to do this. 1 - You can go to the home page www.stockfisch-records.de and find the details of how to pay - you can also when there, leave you name on a donations list. 2 - You can simply put the money into this account: Kreis-Sparkasse Northeim, Konto Nummer 12211, BLZ: 26250001. Account holder Evelyn Pauler, Subject Chris Jones. IBAN DE27262500010000012211 BIC NOLADE21NOM. I am sorry if I am the first one to break this news to you. ********************* Very sad news.... Sabine
