that sucks ,I didn't even know that he had been sick,I also will miss his music,the dude was a real inspiration,may he rest in peace.

 

He was phenomenal and one of the good guys. What a shame he had to go so soon. R.I.P.

 

Bummer, I'm sorry to hear that. I always liked his music. I'll always remember the first time I say him on the tonight show. Playing the guitar on his lap with hands over the neck like a steel guitar. He was amazing. I didn't realize he was blind untill johnny came over and he tookjohnny's elbow to go over and set down. A true talent. SAD

 

He was one great lap playin guitarist. He'll be missed.

I didn't know he pasted,
I'll miss his music.
First time I heard and saw him play was the movie "Roadhouse"
That's when I started buying his CDs.
It always amazed me howhe made so many references to eyes,
seeing or sight in his great music.
RIP

He was great in Roadhouse singing behind that chicken wire with the stuff flying all around him! Great musician and an inspiration to us all !!!!

 

Hey

I was surprised to hear this as well! Im near Toronto where Jeff resided, and its all over the country (Canada) by radio stations etcregarding his passing. He is best know for rock guitar playing, but he was also abig timejazz lover. In the jazz world he was very well known for playing the trumpet, and even had a jazz "oldies" show on the CBC radio. There is a club in Toronto called Healy's where he helped up and coming acts by giving them a place to play.

They announced on my local radio station an new Jeff Healy rock album will be released sometime in April which is very cool!

One the good ones has left us.........my thoughts are with his wife and 2 young children!
