Jeff was a very talented, kind, strong willed individual. I feel blessed to have seen him in Roadhouse where I fell in love with him and his music. I pray he knows how much we love him and miss him. Thank you Jeff for sharing your talent with all of us! ♥️♥️♥️

Just wanted to take a moment to reflect on Jeff; and pass on my condolences to all close to him.

I’m 65, and while my wife & I cannot say we knew Jeff; he seemed to have a unique presence that defined kindness, grace & patience.

In reply to JOE ROBBINS.

As an amateur blues guitar player/songwriter/band member going back to the late 1960s, IMHO, Jeff is sorely underrated as a player/singer/songwriter.

My wife and I danced to “Angel Eyes” while she was 6 months pregnant with our son Brendan who is now almost 21 years old.

I can’t listen that song without it bringing tears to my eyes.

He ranks up there with the best guitarists of the last 40 years.

I have always been facinated with Jeff’s awesome talent and enjoyed watching him perform since the late 1980’s. As an intermediate level guitar player it is difficult enough for me trying to overcome the learning challenges even without facing the handicaps that Jeff didn’t let stop him from being “The Ultimate Guitar Player”. As the one verse in the song “Rock and Roll Heaven” sung by the Righteous Brothers goes “If there’s a rock and roll Heaven, well you know they’ve got a hell of a band” I know you are amongst all of your past performers and only hope that one day I’ll be admitted to hear that performance. Happy 51st Birthday Jeff, I’ll never stop playing your music or thinking about you.

I saw Jeff live twice in Wolverhampton, England. What a musician. The years pass by, the old git staring back at me from the mirror shows me that, but i close my eyes, and i still hear music that pulls at my heart. Angel eyes, hell to pay, confidence man…Tuuuuuunes.

I had the privilege, nay, honour of seeing Jeff at a club in Dallas (1988) called Tommy’s. That place is no longer there, however, the memory of seeing Jeff there will always linger. I very much enjoyed the music but what impressed me more was the prowess in which he played them. I thank you Jeff for the wonderful night I had then, but more important I thank you for the memories I will carry with me to my last days. I know we will meet again.

Every time I listen to his music, I ´find it better and better.
I didn´t have the chance to see his show live, but have spent many hours listening his music.
live is unfair, and he passed away too early, after a lifetime fight against a cruel disease.
But we have his music, and as long as someone keeps listening to his gentle guitar he will be still alive someway…
thank you Jeff!!
