For those of you who may not know a great Canadian musician has left the world
Blind guitar wizard Jeff Healey of Toronto died Sunday of cancer. He was 41.
Norman Jeffrey Healey was one of Canada's premier blues and jazz musicians who is perhaps best known for his 1988 album See The Light, which included the hit single Angel Eyes. He was also nominated for a Grammy for the song Hideaway and in 1990, was awarded a Juno in the Entertainer of the Year category
RIP Jeff, your music will live on even though you are gone.
( I searched and couldn't find a tribute thread so I made this. If one is out there then I apolgize and please merge mine into it)

Still here since December 2002
At sometime I patronized all these old bums:Necrobrit, Sulla, Scrappy Jenks, eldaran, Oldgamer, Ecthelion,Kagemusha, and adopted these bums: Battle Knight, Obi Wan Asterixand Muizer
This is genuinely saddening news to me, he's always been somewhat of an inspirational figure in my eyes. Canada has lost a great musician. Jeff Healey RIP.
RIP Jeff
