Well, damn.  Another musician that I greatly admired has passed away now to.  How many blind guitarists make it in the business, much less a blind, white blues guitarist?

Jeff.

God I hate to hear this.....  I had the opportunity to hang out with him at a Blues Jam many years ago.  He was in town for a show and stopped at the jam to just hang out and play.  Incredibly nice guy and great to listen to.  Another good one is gone.....

I saw him play many many times in Toronto.  He played at a biker bar on Spadina (can't recall the name) on Sunday Jam Nights.

Sad, he was an amazing talent.

Sad Day.
So much talent, so little time.
I remember the first time I saw him, it just blew me away.
