Lovely story about an apparently lovely as well as enormously talented man.

I remember that night very well. It was a truly humble honour to watch and hear Jack Bruce, Ian Gillan, Randy Bachman, David Wilcox, Colin James and the many others (backed by the fantastically solid and steady Jeff Healey Blues Band) pay an emotional and heart-felt tribute to Jeff whilst sitting and absorbing it all with Cristie and the rest Jeff’s family.
Smiles, hugs, cheers and tears all around on that most memorable night. Thank you for having me be a part of it. Good, good times.

It is so amazing how many people’s lives that Jeff touched. What a great video and to get a Walk of Fame to boot last week. God rest Ye merry souls lads and kick some more Blues in the Astral planes boys. TY Roger. Incredible. To see Joe playing guitar too, that’s a first for me. LOL.

Honoured to have watched him perform that night – it really was surreal to see him there in the flesh, and truly spoke to Jeff’s influence as well. You know there is one hell of a jam session going on up there right now…and at least a few begging the two of them to turn it down. 🙂

Both are nestled firmly somewhere in my big heart, which is getting heavier by the day, but I’m good. I can’t wait to go to the big jam in the sky, one awesome band up there, and a whole lotta love.

Be safe, be kind, be considerate, and rock on, for those who’ve paved the way.
