Could do a whole lot worse for a rock outfit.

Bonus points for being in Roadhouse

I saw him once in concert supporting the "Hell to Pay" album. If you can pick up his "Live At Montreux 1999" cd.

I'll have to check that out, Red13. I only know "Angel Eyes".

I saw him a few weeks ago on tour in the UK. A fantastic guitarist, blind or not. He didn't have a fixed set list, and he and his blues band basically jammed on stage and played anything the audience called out for.

I don't think any of his recorded material really does Jeff justice. You have to see him live to appreciate just how good he is.

Yes, a really gifted guitarist/singer.

Some of the only blues music I enjoy comes from this man.

Try Joe Bonamassa. My best friend was his bassist for six years. The guy flat out smokes.

Yes, R.I.P. Jeff. I was fortunate last October to visit Jeff Healey’s Roadhouse in Toronto. I traveled up from Detroit to see Saga playing there. Nice place, they played the movie Roadhouse on the big screens as a backdrop to the music. I was talking to a few with inside knowledge, they said jeff had cancer wasn’t doing well. Too bad about Jeff, that man was an inspiration. He’ll be missed.

Bumping this for thoughts and appreciation of a very gifted man.
This stinks still sinking in.

Saw Joe play a couple of months ago and all I can say is WOW.
