Jeff Healey died today after a long battle with cancer. He was an amazing guitarist. Cancer in his early life is what took his eye sight from him. If you are a fan, you know how talented he was, if you aren't I suggest you go and buy his album and give it a listen. You will be impressed. He recently released an album, his first in 8 years.
I didn't put this in Hall of Remembrance because that is technically for fallen warriors of the arts. However, I felt compelled to start a thread in his honor, listening to his music always sends my mind into memories of my younger years.

He did an awful lot of smiling while he played as well, and a good time was had by all. Being a musician myself I've seen a ton of bands and groups in the last few decades, but Jeff really came across as a guy who was having an absolute blast on stage, and you could feel it in the audience and it just made for a great time for everyone. It's too bad he passed so young, but we were lucky to have him as long as we did.
