Those of us in Canada will definately know him, and i know he got some play in the America, but one of our greatest musicians passed away due to cancer at 41. If you saw the "classic" Patrick Swayze film Roadhouse, he was the blind musician playing in that movie. He could play guitar better than most who had their sight, laying it on his lap and moving his fingers at the speed of light. He was great to watch.

OK, I did some research on Jeff. It turns out he was battling cancer all his life. He lost his eyesight at one due to a rare form of cancer.
Despite his love of the blues, he is/was scheduled to release a new rock album Mess of Blues on April 22/08.Comment -
