Almost four years ago, we lost the great guitarist and singer, Jeff Healey.\u00a0 Although Healey, had a relatively short music career, passing away at 41 years old, his music lives on in all of us.\u00a0 Healey was a powerhouse on stage that didn’t let his disabilities get in the way of his guitar.\u00a0 I want to share a series of video performances that I collected with you to remember what a great musician Healey was.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy them!<\/p>\n

It wouldn’t be right to write a post about Jeff Healey and not include a great version of the hit song, “Roadhouse Blues.”\u00a0 Check out this live performance from 1989 at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5QQTEVej-_M&feature=related<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Healey played a great version of one of my favorite songs too, “I’m Tore Down.”\u00a0 There’s a great rock version of the song at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oEMkkX9_SEk&feature=related<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jeff could slow things down and play a great ballad too.\u00a0 Check out this performance of the song, “Angel Eyes” at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EyPXDEffTTc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll leave you with one last video from Healey.\u00a0 This last one is Healey’s first video appearance and features him playing alongside the great Stevie Ray Vaughan.\u00a0 Check out this great video at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wdLCJvoLYe0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed these videos as much as I did.\u00a0 Jeff Healey was a guitar virtuoso that will definitely be missed.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
