From the moment I saw Jeff Healey playing this song, I knew that this singer and guitarist was one of the truly great musicians of our generation.

The world was blessed by a talented and inspired musician. He never let cancer or blindness stop him from what he loved -- playing guitar and creating music. He lives on.

That is really quite an amazing cover of perhaps the most emotional Beatles song ever. It's too bad I hadn't heard anything about him since the 80's
damn music industry
I guess the market for blues-rock guitarists collapsed in the 90's
I blame Stevie Ray Vaughn (but not his brother)
