Obituaries: Toronto Guitar Veteran Tony Zorzi, Indie Rock Musician Will Cullen Hart

This week we also acknowledge the passing of Alice Brock, a hippie heroine via her association with the classic Arlo Guthrie song "Alice's Restaurant Massacree."

Tony Zorzi, an in-demand guitarist and teacher on the Toronto music scene, died on Nov. 27, at age 69, after a long battle with cancer. Billboard Canada has been informed that he survived five years after a Stage 4 diagnosis.

The JazzinToronto website noted that Zorzi "was a versatile artist who performed with countless Toronto musicians, worked in shows at Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre and the O’Keefe Centre for the Performing Arts, and played with such notables as Vera Lynn, Gene Pitney, Bob Hope, and Quebec recording star Diane Tell."
