Legendary Toronto blues guitarist and old-style jazz aficionado Jeff Healey died yesterday in Toronto's St. Joseph's Hospital after a lifelong battle with a rare form of cancer – retinoblastoma – that blinded him in his first year. He was 41.

"Discovered" in a Toronto club in 1982 by Texas blues guitarist, the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, Healey astonished music fans with his outrageous technique. Self-taught by age 4, he laid the electric guitar across his lap and played it in much the same way as a pianist manipulates a keyboard.
 
Damn that sucks! I think he was one of the most talented guitarists in the last generation.
 
I had no idea he was sick. He seemed to really enjoy his life.
Gone far too soon. Rest in peace.

Yep, his band was the "house band" in Roadhouse. SRV is who helped him get the nod for recording contracts.
