Well-known Boston rock documentarian Artie Freedman kindly sent us the
otherwise very sad news that guitarist Jack Rootoo of Lou Miami and
the Kozmetix and Girl on Top died last night of throat cancer.

We have followers of each band among our readers, which is a main
reason why we are sending this announcement almost immediately on
receipt of the news. In fact, it seems quite likely that a great many
of our Boston readers, in particular, would be familiar with one or
the other of these popular groups - maybe both.

We have no information about funeral arrangements or memorial
gatherings, nor do we have contact information that would help.

This is all we know.

Rest in peace.
