Remembering Jeff Healey

A friend e-mailed me that Jeff Healey had died from lung cancer. It always shocks you when someone you think is "around your age" is in the obituaries. But Jeff Healey deserves the remembrance, for the great music he played and the life he lived.

The New York Times provides a good overview of this brilliant musician's career, but Toronto's National Post takes a more personal tone and thereby pays a greater tribute to their native son.

I don't know about you, but I'm going to check out some of those jazz recordings.
