R.I.P. Norman Jeffrey Healey (March 25, 1966 - March 2, 2008)...


It was a sad weekend for the music industry (in general) as we lost Canadian music legend - Norman Jeffrey Healey, better known as Jeff Healey to most. Jeff Healey was blind... having lost his sight to cancer at a young age, he was an extremely talented musician, best known for his unique guitar playing style (and for some, his role as a bar musician in the late 80's action flick Roadhouse). Jeff Healey was 41. He will be missed...

The image above shows Jeff Healey playing with his Jazz Wizards Band in Peterborough, Ontario on September 8, 2007. This picture shows his unique method of playing guitar. The image is from the Wikipedia commons and has been released into the public domain by its author.
