Jeff Healy R.I.P.

What with the musicians and music lovers on the board this is sad news.
Death don't have no mercy.

I didn't know who this was until I saw the picture. Now I remember him from his Cameo in "Roadhouse".

I'm sure that wasn't the highlight of his career but I remember thinking at the time that he was a great musician.

He was only 41 years old too...

Jeff Healy's "Angel Eyes" was my wedding song. Talented for sure.

His "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" is better than george's, except for the vocals.

He has a new album to be out soon. Too bad it will be his last.

Here in the UK he was a great hero amongst us budding guitarists. He has influenced nearly everybody i've met who plays guitar with his blues style. I've got all his cd's.
If anybody hasn't heard Jeff's music, go and treat yourself because you will be amazed at what this blind guitarist could do.

R.I.P Jeff, you will be with us forever.

very sorry to hear this, he was a talented bluesman and musician. Funny how I had not heard anything on my local (NJ) news.
