I regret to report that Jim Ellis's oldest daughter (in her 30s) recently passed away after a long battle with cancer. (Jim Ellis did most of the leads for the Satintones.) He regrets he won't be visiting the forum for awhile, and I've assured him all our prayers are with him and for his family. At some point, he may return. Just wanted to let you know, as he really appreciates the fans and those who remember and love his music so much.

Nikki

Nikki please pass our condolences to Jim.

A harrowing time for him and his family.
