Thanks for the pics Bob - nice story.

As Jimmie Vaughan said "Heaven done called another blues-stringer back home" - Six Strings Down

R.I.P. Jeff

I'd heard of Jeff Healy but never heard him - his technique unique and his sound & tone amazing - far from the common denominator.

Bob, I don't know whether you conscientiously intended it so but I take your comment as a wake up call...

I'm kicking myself for not getting to meet Jeff back then, I had an invite but was pressed for time so I said "next year".

Music is life...

Jeff became interested in Jazz Standards after awhile. Here's a Beautiful take on StarDust. He sings and plays the trumpet, not guitar.

Thanks Bob - truly awesome. What Frank Zappa might have quipped "trick guitar" is sheer mastery - Jeff definitely had it going on (especially when he was going off!) And you gotta love the Dr on the keys...
