In Memory of Ralph Jones 1963-2016
Guitar Player, Singer, Songwriter, Producer
After a childhood plenty of violence and abuse and disregarding your dignity, after severe illness since childhood, after years of drugs, alcohol and fighting against the consequences of child abuse in yourself and in our society, loosing loves, defeats and victories, decades of guitar playing, singing, composing, texting, after your last defeat 'the illness' - you decided that this is not 'your cup of tea anymore'.
On September 11 2016 we celebrated a good bye ceremony on the Leu-Fähri at Basel/Switzerland for you (without your mortal remains).
On 7th of April 2017 the memorial ceremony took place in a chapel. Stefan (Guitar), Maik (Charango), Sultan (Percussion), Dascha (Singer) and Christina (Backing Vocal) were performing selected songs (lyrics Englisch/German) of Ralph's creative work.

After this the tomb was inaugurated at the cementary Friedhof am Hörnli, Hirtenweg 10, 4125 Riehen/Basel, Switzerland, Department 8, Section C, to the name Rolf Trächslin, grave number 4183.
