   Jeff Healey: I'm sorry to read of his passing.
   
   Sorry to say I don't know much about his work. I'm more familiar with the era of Jimi Hendrix, another guitarist whose music wasn't too bad.

      Jimmy Hendricks(gota love him) was a major influence on his music.

   Jeff Healey is well known in the U.S. I actually didn't know he was Canadian until I followed your link.

   My husband and I were lucky enough to see him live a number of times. It wasn't just his music that made him special, he truly was/is a genuinely beautiful human being.
   
   Funny story:
   A few years ago he was at a celebrity golf tournament to preform, but he wanted to have some fun with everyone there and insisted on taking a golf cart for a drive around the course to tease all the people golfing.
   
   Why is that funny you ask....Jeff Healey was blind!

      Greetings Wilderr67
      Yes, I know he was blind, from the age of 1 to cancer.
      The same cancer killed him 40 years later.
