Memories of Jeff Healey

Rest in Peace

Zaphodity (Nov 07, 2008)

I remember being a teenager in the 80's late at night and seeing this guy on MTV for the first time...I remember at first thinking "why is he sitting down"???....Then the blast of one the the most powerful guitar openings ive ever heard from the song See the Light started up...I went out the next day and bought the cd...Then bought another when it wore out...Then another...I only learned today of his passing (Friday 7th November) and my deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends...He was a rare talent and will be truly missed.

Regards

Zaphodity

My Memory

To the Jeff Healy Family. Sorry for your loss. He was and continues to be an inspiration to all of us who love music. He reminds me so much of my brother who also passed away at an early age of 34 . May you have peace in knowing that you too will once see them again.

Jeff Healey Undiscovered

I first saw Jeff in a now closed down bar in Calgary that was known for it's blues. I thought this guy was assome, but why was he playing his gitar that way. Well it was a slide gitar and he was blind. Resently watched road house again and thought what ever happened to him and now found out this most talented slide gitarest is gone. The most talentented people you care about are taken from you far to soon, and then others just brand you forever. Your songs will live with me forever Jeff.

Jeff Healy was of the most unique guitarists ever! And he difinately had his own style.
I have never seen ANYONE play guitar like that! And its really a shame that he had to leave us so soon. He will be missed by MANY music fans!!!!
God Bless

I never got to see the man live myself which is one of my biggest regrets , However I had no idea he had gone untill I found thissite whilst looking for some videos of him on the net , I don't know what to say, I am actually holding my strat now as I type .
My first memory of Jeff was hearing blue jeans blues on the radio here in the uk , and thinking wow!! i have gotta buy this guys album,that was when I was 16, and he inspired me to pick up the guitar, now I am 35 and I still use alot of jeffs phrasings to day, .
God bless jeff , youre in good company buddy...................still cant belive it.

I saw Jeff's "See the Light" tour in St.Pete,Fl. he truly tore up that guitar and in such a unique way.You just had to be there.He "opened my eyes" to other ways to attack your instrutment.

My Memory OF JEFF AND MY HUSBAND

SOUTHERNGURL (Oct 11, 2008)

WHEN I FIRST STARTED DATING MY HUSBAND WE LISTENED TO THE JEFF HEALEY BAND ALL THE TIME. WE WERE AT THE BEACH LISTENING TO THAT PERFECT SONG WHEN MY HUSBAND ( boyfriend at the time...lol) THAT PERFECT SONG WAS THE AMAZING " ANGEL EYE'S". MY HUSBAND WAS KILLED WHEN OUR DAUGHTER WAS 3yrs OLD BY A HEAD-ON COLLISION BY A DRUNK DRIVER. THIS ACCIDENT CLAIMED 5 MORE LIVES, 4 IN MY HUSBANDS CAR AND THE DRUNK DRIVER; SO I'LL LIVE OUT THE REST OF MY DAY'S JUST WAITING TO HEAR THAT SONG THAT ALWAY'S BRINGS BACK A SPECIAL TIME IN MY LIFE. IN MY OPINION (and everyone has one) THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE EVER AGAIN COME CLOSE THE THE MOST AWESOME MAN OF MUSIC....THE ALL TIME GREAT "JEFF HEALEY" MAY YOU REST IN PEACE
AND RAISE THE ROOF-TOP OF HEAVEN WITH YOUR MUSIC AS YOUR GUITAR GENTLEY WEEPS....MY SYMPATHEY'S GO OUT TO HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN; THEY HAD A HUSBAND AND A FATHER THAT THE WORLD LOVED!
