fantasticsound Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Boggs and GuitarPlayerSoCa, I'm sorry to hear of your losses. Jeff Healey was a great player and a great man. It is a terrible shame. Couldn't say it better, so... It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teleman65 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 This one is closer to home than I'm used to. I remember being schooled by a 16 year old Jeff Healey at an open stage. A lot of people I know thought highly of him and with good reason. My Aunt and Uncle often sat with him at traditional jazz shows where he'd usually play trumpet for a few songs. I played at his old club at Queen & Bathurst but hadn't made it out to his new place. I knew he wasn't well but had no idea it was so serious. This really sucks. I'll always remember the blind kid who held the guitar wrong and loved old jazz. Rest in peace Jeff. http://www.soundclick.com/teleman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
