6. no problem

i have been amazed by this guy for weeks

[EnviroBat]

2. It 's amazing to me how the blind will invent ...

new incredible ways of doing something like playing guitar.
I've seen him live before. It was completely unreal! His playing is so unique because of the way he learned to play the guitar. I've tried to goof around playing like that, it's really hard...

[Nicole]

5. Isn't it?

I would love to see him play live. I became a fan after seeing him in Roadhouse. Angel Eyes is still one of my favorite songs.

3. Jeff Healey Is Amazing

I have always liked him

remember him in that movie Roadhouse?

He's just fun to watch

this is a great video Nicole!


:thumbsup:

7. Yes

I posted above I became a fan after seeing him in Roadhouse.

I read he recently had more surgery for cancer. :(

Last month he had seven cancerous growths removed from his lungs. About a year ago he had two removed from his legs. And of course cancer is also the reason he lost his eyes at age one.

I hope he beats it. He posted on his website that his Dr. said surgery was a success & he himself is confident that he can "nip it in the bud" if cancer reappears. I admire his strength as much as his talent. :toast:

8. Oh I Missed That

:blush:

I didn't read that


but I hope he beats it too.

Must be a real chronic kind of cancer, or he's had different kinds?

:toast: here's to him beating cancer and to his special talent!

:toast: to Nicole for posting this!

:hug:

[Nicole]

9. I'm not sure

what kind he has. Or if he has had more than one type.

I just know he's had way more than his share. :(

12. No Kidding!

yet he perseveres

inspiring

:hug:

[Nicole]

15. I agree

He is inspiring.

13. Goddammit!!!!

Why does it always happen this way?! I listened to Jeff Healey and his band for years. "See the Light" and the cover version of Jerry Rafferty's "Stuck in the Middle with You" are among my favorites.
It always seems that the best talent gets taken away from us. Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Rory Gallagher, John Lennon, and George Harrison-all gone. What do we get stuck with? Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears! Give the record companies time, they'll have Paris Hilton cut a f_____g record.

To get hit with cancer if the eye at one year of age, and get hit with it again later might be indicative of genetic predisposition.

I really hope he beats it. I would hate to loose another great talent.

[Nicole]

14. Sad isn't it?

I hope he beats it too.

I agree that we lose the best ones too soon.

I hate to break it to you but.....Paris Hilton has already released her first album. Last summer. :puke:

17. I probably would have better off not knowing that. Excuse me

Whilst I go off and chew off a body part in tribute to the American music industry.
:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

18. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

There is no accounting for taste. The fact that Paris Hilton is famous at all is proof of that.

[Spider Jerusalem]

10. Okay...

Brian Setzer - "Sleepwalk"

[Nicole]

11. Thanks

All these videos make me wish I knew how to play.

[enigmatic]

16. "See The Light" is a great album

He absolutely rips stinging solo after solo on that record; wow!

He's pretty much a Jazz guy now, and that sounds great, too..

[Nicole]

19. It's one of the best debut albums I own

I think his first love was Jazz. I've listened to his Jazz show online a few times on Monday nights.
