RIP Jeff Healey

Lot of musicians die from O.D's and other less than tragic ways, Jeff died of Cancer...

For those that are unfamiliar with him,or have forgotten him. He is a blind musician ,his blindness caused by Cancer at the age of one, playing guitar on is lap, he was mostly into blues and has played with basically all the great blues players still living in the last 30 years and some that no longer are including SRV.

Great guitar player , I think Angel Eyes was probably his greatest hit but I chose this video cause it's a great song,and a decent cover but mostly it shows off his ability and personality as a blind guy, it's cool when he stands up and still plays the guitar upside down in it, pretty gifted guy ...Plus it's a little tribute to his role in the classic Patrick Swazye movie, Roadhouse.

Has a new Album coming out this year as well, leaves behind a wife and a couple kids.
