Jeff Healey was once asked: "How did your guitar end up in your lap?"

With a smile on his face Jeff replied: "I dropped it."

Good of you to take a moment to remember him to us in such fashion.

We in the guitar community seem to have been robbed of an in depth appreciation of the length and breadth of his musical ability and interests until his recent postumous TV special was broadcast.

My respect and admiration for his gifts went stratospheric. I concur with those who see his untimely passing as great loss to us all culturally. What he left was a catalog of work for us to appreciate, and the inspiration to strive to prevail in the face of adversity. :wink:

He was one helluva musician and had been working with his Jazz Band playing Trumpet the last couple of years. Check it out it is excellent!

Been there, done that. Hence the reason for my commentary.

Keep well.
