| His playing style always amazed me. I didn't realize he was self taught either. _________________ "The cat is the most ruthless, most terrifying of animals." - Spock in the "Catspaw" episode of ToS Season 2.

| That's a shame. I just saw him in the (classic) movie "Road House" on TV a couple of weeks ago. R.I.P. Jeff! _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

| Heard about it late last night - this beyond sucks. A very popular musician here in Canada - his blues-rock material is all over classic rock radio up here. Very similar musically to Stevie Ray Vaughan, although the two have their own unique styles. Speaking of the two... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqU9RZqvFKY Heard a bit of his jazz material - pretty damn good for a guy that hasn't been playing trumpet for too long (although he's a lifelong fan of the genre), but I've loved his blues-rock stuff since I was a kid. See the Light (the song) still amazes me. | |

Yeah, when he started to do his jazz projects, he picked up the trumpet (I think he plays a bit of clarinet too but don't quote me on that . He plays guitar on the jazz stuff as well. | |

| "The radio ad "Hi, I'm Jeff Healey from the Jeff Healey Band. Don't drink and drive. I don't." Well, I hope you don't drive sober either, Mr. Healey. You're blind, for God's sake!" - George Carlin Nonetheless, a very talented man. It is extremely impressive what he managed to do considering his disabilities. | |

| That guy had cancer since he was one year old! That's impressive. Yeah, he was young, but to live with cancer for 40 years is pretty amazing. |

| That sucks ass. Worst rock news since Pepsi, for me. Top five modern blues masters in my book. Will throw on some Healey in respect.
R.I.P. brother. |

One of my all time fav movies... "His name is Daulton" Indeed, I was watching it this morning. Although, I like Sam Elliot better than Swayze actor wise. | |

Wargod48 Wow. The old gypsy was right. The curse of The Roadhouse is coming to fruition. I hope Sam Elliot is ok. | |
