Rest in Peace Jeff...I saw him play several times and was always blown away by his passion and ability. When he was the opener for a show he would blow the headliner away and put on a guitar clinic that was just incredible to watch. He was truly a unique individual and a person who was tremendously talented. I kept making plans to go up to Toronto to see him at his club, I'm sorry that I never made it one last time. My condolences to his wife and family on their loss. Tonight in heaven there is going to be one hell of a jam session with Jeff, SRV, Jimi, and all the other great blues guitarists who've passed...

I want to write this on behalf of my sister, who is a huge fan of this amazingly talented man. I only read that he'd died the other day, my sister was so shocked & saddened when I told her.

Although his playing was sometimes a bit OTT for my personal taste, his talent was undeniable and I just wanted to pay a tribute.

Thanks!
