From David Halstead at Thrill Jockey:
It is with great sadness that I pass along this information, but I thought most of you would want to know. If you have not already heard, Jack Rose, masterful guitar player, dear friend and Philadelphia resident, suffered a heart attack on Saturday and passed away at the very young age of 38.
