Jeff Healey was a Canadian blues-rock guitarist. Healey was perhaps most notable for his blindness, and his unique style of playing guitar flat on his lap. He lost his sight when he was one year old, due to cancer of the eyes - his eyes had to be surgically removed, and he was given artificial replacements. Nevertheless he began playing guitar when he was only three, developing his unique playing style. Because his parents had no idea how the instrument was supposed to be held, or played, Healey was left to figure out his own approach.

Healey died in Toronto, Sunday March 2, 2008, after a battle with cancer. He was 41. The official press release can be viewed at http://www.jeffhealey.com/home.htm

I got a chance to jam w/ The Jeff Healy band up in Calgary Alberta at some Club. I sang 'Watchtower' ala Jimi Hendrix and vocal and blues harp on a Big Joe Williams song 'Highway 49'. I was talking to the bass player and drummer after the set when Jeff walked up and Asked, "Who was that Guy?"
