Part of Jeff's secret of his amazingly rich sound came from custom pickups that came from Vancouver Island. I don't remember the name but they used braided very thin gauge wire coiled and set in resin. He experimented with jazz later on but Jeff was a blues man at heart.This world's better for the talent and passion he shared. RIP Jeff.

Life dealt Jeff a heavy blow. Cancer blinded him at the age of about one. Then struck again & killed him with lung cancer in his early forties. Yet it somewhat compensated him as, first a rock/ blues great as both guitarist & vocalist, then later as a jazz afficinado on trumpet. Jeff, because of your great talent, you will never be forgotten.

steven batty - same here bro - saw him at the Regent Theatre in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1991. I had my near-death motorcycle in April 1990 and lost my entire left leg plus I suffered numerous other internal injuries as well. A girlfriend and I attended his gig and it blew my mind. I asked my girlfriend if she could go backstage after it ended and inquire if it would be possible to meet Jeff. He agreed and off we went. It was only a brief meeting and he opened the door of his room backstage and shook my hand and we introduced ourselves. Told him I was a complete left leg amputee from my accident around 12 months ago and we took our conversation from there. I thought he was a way cool super laid back kinda dude with a superb sense of humor/wit and we laughed together at some blind and amputee jokes. It was easily one of the highlights of my life. I felt his inner strength. Unfathomable. I wasn't the strongest of guys back then (27) but man did Jeff Healey provide me with an opportunity to meet a rock star with a disability who somehow seemed to possess an almost 'god-like' nature whatever that is. I could also feel his compassion and empathy for not only me probably for the whole of mankind to be honest. It was definitely a spine-tingling moment for sure. Have NEVER forgotten meeting the one and only Sir Jeff Healey.
