Jeff Healey has died. Best known as the blind guy who played the blues rock guitar on his lap, and perhaps popularly best known for his cover of The Beatles song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
This is a tragedy...I saw this guy play live in the early 1990's. One of the most innovative guitarists of our time, all the remarkable by the fact that he never saw a guitar in his life. Unorthodox style, he was a remarkable musician and taken too young with cancer at 41 years.
