Hi I'm a musician, became a solid blues/rock pop drummer-played many many gigs....thanks to local jams i played live with other musicians-I didnt realize Jeff such a awesome guitar player-wished i could have had the opportunity to sit in with him and played some upbeat swing blues. .....now i listen to anything i can of Jeff on you tube!!! Im Thankful to be able to see and hear his music performances on here- im sure the bands he opened for had their musicianship challenged ....to follow Jeff after he and his band tore it up!!! A terrible loss to music and humanity- a humble gentleman who lost his eyes to cancer, grew up to be one of the greatest ever to play guitar-sing- I'm in awe.....im sorry i missed out on one of his concerts-Rest In Peace Jeff Healy.

I remember 1989(?) in Amsterdam the Netherlands, I lived in the Leidsekruisstraat the heart of the music- and theatercenter then, I watched out of my window on the first floor, on a crowded and warm evening (I think it was a Friday), suddenly I saw this same Mr. Healey, without a guitar but with a sort of "buddy", the piccolo of the American Hotel (Leidseplein), Healey held his hand on the piccolo's shoulder, they walked through the crowd. I guess they were going to cafe "Bourbon Street" 50 meters further. The same year that the hotel won the Dutch Hotel Award, Mr. Healy died. I'll always remember him walking on that street with his hotel guide, so cute
