Dear Diana and Sofia-

I'm very sad to hear about Jeff's passing. I knew him back in the 70s. I booked him in clubs a few times when he was playing with Jayne County. I always thought he was the best guitarist on the scene. I was just looking at an old photo that I took of him when he played with Tuff Darts, the other day. He was a great guy. My prayers are with him.

Thanks very much for letting me know. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Regards-

Wow, that's sad...


He's another SVA guy. I always wanted to talk with him about stuff, now I can't.


And the Tuff Darts were a great band that we needed to talk about.


And he's my age! He's too young to die.


There's so much wrong with this.


Thanks for telling me!...


I didn't get to know Jeff...


Best always,

What a shock to hear of the passing of Tuff Dart Jeff Salen.He was one of the original New York rock musicians and he always kept a positive message in his music and spirit. We will miss him.

RIP NYC 70s Scenester Jeff Salen

Salen was the guitarist for Queen Elizabeth featuring Wayne County(when Jerry Nolan was the drummer, before Jerry became a NY Doll); including during Wayne's Bowie/Mainman tenure;
Salen then joined forces with a hot young Robert Gordon to form the original Tuff Darts, a truly amazing unsung band on the pre-punk Max's/CBGB circuit;
after Gordon split to start his rock a billy experiment with Link Wray,Sire Records signed the band and released a record or two, but it was never the same without Robert Gordon....








such great guitarists come out of that NY pre punk scene,
including Jeff.
Jeff was also a VERY attractive man to watch on stage...
ahh,the good old days...

Man, the guy wrote "Your Love is Like Nuclear Waste" and "All For the Love of Rock'n'Roll." AND played with Sparks for awhile. Caertainly deserves a bump for that.

Sesu, I checked him out and he was an original, though
I didn't know him I am sad to have missed knowing him.
Thank you for passing this along.
