Aw shit. A terrible disease. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. I saw him play once, but can't remember who with, I do remember it was a great show. I really enjoy his music.
I saw him play at the WNEW-FM Christmas concert at the Beacon theater In New York City. I believe it was around 88-89. Melissa Etheridge and Peter Frampton also played that evening. I remember being blown away at his playing. Not only how good he was, but his truly unorthodox style of playing. Then he kind of dissapeared off the map. I never knew he was battling cancer his whole life. RIP Jeff.
Thanks for your music and the joy you brought to so many people. Tear it up-up there.
I thought he was a very talented guy,remember hearing Angel Eyes on the radio,and buying it on cassette.Then saw him on TV and was blown away by his style! 30,000 LPs in his collection!!! A true music lover!Peace,Ray
He appeared in the film "Roadhouse" with Patrick Swayze. Worth a look if only to see the scenes with Jeff.
R.I.P. Jeff, thanks for the music!

BTW MoFimadness quoted Jeff from "RoadHouse", thanks Mofi, terrible movie but that made me smile.
