Re: [Harp-L] Jeff Healey

[Mark Stafford <birdstafford@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

thanks for that Manfred....

Jeff was astonishing when it came to knowing guitar lines that were  
native to traditional blues songs. Even with his world famous status  
(in the 80's) he would drop into small clubs and sit in with anyone  
who was playing blues.

It knocked me out that he actually knew the line to a Sonny Boy II  
tune, not always a main stream tune either.
