R.I.P. Jack Rootoo Options

the following was sent to me by Karen from Girl On Top and is sad news about a legendary guitarist from Boston:

"R. I. P.

Jack Rootoo (Richard Galivin) passed away last night after finding out a couple weeks ago that he had cancer of the esophagus.

Jack played with Lou Miami and the Kozmetix in the 80's and then from 1988-2002 with Girl On Top.

Luckily, I was able to say goodbye.

Jack also was an artist, woodworker, father, husband.
He was surrounded by much love on his last days.

I will put an email out as soon as I find out when the services are."

R.I.P. Jack. His memorial service is tonight and I am unable to attend.

Dang I would love to hear each and every one of those tapes he's got stashed somewhere.

Last, but not least, big shame on the mods for not pinning this. Jack was a pretty awesome and memorable guitar player in this town.

Very sad. I have fond memories of seeing Jack in the Kozmetix numerous times in Providence way back when.

We have a couple of live things. One club show and a in-studio thing from WERS I think where they ran through all the cover songs they did. I will try to get them online if I can.

I've promised that to Carm and I have been very bad to have forgotten to do it. Sadly my computer is on the sick list but hopefully Tom can do it for you.
