Sorry to see him go! One of my favs. Angel Eyes was my wedding song. I 'm gonna have to watch 'roadhouse" tonight.

Not just an amazing talent! A super nice down to earth guy who put his money where his mouth was to promote Canadian talent. I met him at a small showcase event in TO years ago and I was impressed by his warmth and sincerity.

He won't be forgotten.

LOL - Did I say that? I actually saw him (coincidently enough) at the old Indian Motorcycle club at a release party for the "Too Much" album - that was back when I was still in radio.

No bike yet...but lets not DB cooper this thread. If you're in TO sir, I'd be pleased to have a beer with you on the patio at my place this summer or in the city some time.

Yes this was a Class Act and a super guitar player. Given the cards he was dealt, the rest of us should feel grateful for whatever is thrown at us. RIP Jeff.

Can you imagine Healy, Hendix and Vaugh jamming.
