10. Oh, no.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I have very fond memories of playing his albums at a record store where I used to work.

God rest his soul.

11. Dammit!! The man could play!!

I was personally a big fan of his song "See The Light", some great guitar work in that song. I also liked his cover of the old Gerry Rafferty tune "Stuck in the Middle", Healey put a great twist on that old tune.
As far as I had read about him, he had a special way to modify his guitars so he could play them.

Something in that genetic code of his got the best of him. How sad!!

May he rest in peace and may he play the blues in that big concert hall in the sky! Be at peace Jeff!

14. Time to watch "Roadhouse"...

..."The man's name...is DALTON"..."

I remember Jeff's entry into the music world but have always associated him with "Roadhouse," one of the greatest all-time low-rent, late night cable flicks in existence.

RIP Jeff.
