I remember him from his performance in the movie, Roadhouse - that was the first time I'd ever seen him perform before.

He's one of the only reasons to watch that horrible trainwreck of a movie (well that and to see Patrick Swaz actually have trouble beating up a old man

)

Pretty incredible how he could play like that under the circumstances....R.I.P.

Roadhouse. A classic. 41 ain't too bad though better than 21 I guess. I'll need to take a listen.

I just want to add what a great guy Jeff was. Got to meet him at a blues fest in the late 80's and he hung out and talked to a lot people. I know some other sax players who also got to meet him and you get the same thing from everyone, and that is he was a very nice guy. Not to mention he was a unique player and blues can't really afford to lose too many of those to cancer. What a huge loss his album was just getting ready to release.

The blues will never die.

On the bright side my Roadhouse DVD just tripled in value to $0...

Crushaholic · 03-03-2008, 09:05 PM

Angel Eyes is one of the greatest ballads ever, IMO. It really sums up my life. RIP Jeff Healey...

Jazz either I hope. I was just out at a local orange county calif HS for my nephews jazz band performance and I was blown away at how good some of these kids can play. So I agree Herbie Hancock just won album of the yr and kids are playing jazz. I have a pretty decent blues/soul band going right now and just replaced the lead guitar player with a better lead guitar player so I'm pretty happy.

I agree though blues and jazz will not be dying. They will never be the in thing again but will always have enough artists and fans to stay healthy.

So tonight I'll ask the stars above
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do
What did I say
To turn your Angel Eyes
My way?

There was this local front man for a metal band out here a while back.

They did this fund raiser for him called "*** Cancer", kind of brought back a memory.

I missed it last yr but have been about 5-6 other years. I also hit up the playboy jazz fest sometimes, Doheny beach blues fest is also a good one.

88.1 is a great station they were hosting my nephews middle school jazz concert.

I take it you are into music and the blues in particular?

watermock · 03-04-2008, 01:12 AM

RIP...Nice comments.

Yes, have been into the blues since about ten.

My grandfather was mostly into gospel blues, camp and prison songs.

Now, i belong to the Santa Barbara blues society.

Go out a couple of times a year for shows.

And the Southland blues as well.

Ever go to the Golden Sails hotel on PCH, Thanksgiving eve for battle of the blues harps?

man, the first time i saw this dude play, i could not believe that the sound i was hearing was coming from his setup...and the voice was clear as a bell. RIP.

HorseHead · 03-04-2008, 12:03 PM

used to work at a radio station that would rent out Ferry's for concerts out on our huge lake up here...actually got to see the guy play with a crowd of about 250....

as I worked for the station, got to hang out with Jeff at a "meet and greet", I can honestly say, truly a sweet guy, very down to earth...

if there are true fans out there, he does a version of "While my guitar gently weeps" that actually has George Harrison on it, phenominal, go download it...
