My wife just told me this on MSN this morning. Damn, that is very sad. Our first real date was a Jeff Healey concert, and the first song at our wedding was his 'Angel Eyes'. You could say I was a fan. Still am. Crap.

I highly recommend you pick up some of his work - he truly was incredible.

I've posted some pics that a friend of mine took a little while back at a concert Jeff did. You can see them here:

One of the best guitarists ever. I never got into his jazz music, but I'll have to pick some up and give it a listen. RIP, Jeff.
