Canadian Jazz/rock great Jeff Healey could use some prayers,blundervibes and healing thoughts.
For those who don,t know him Jeff lost his eyes to a rare form of cancer as a child.He recently released a new album,he has had to cancel his tour dates and is in hospital for emergency cancer treatment.Praying he beats this and is on the road to recovery soon and back on the road spreading his music.

Vibes from here. Angel Eyes was one of his big radio hits. He was also in the movie Roadhouse.

Lots of vibes from here... I've liked Jeff Healey for years....

Side note: Jeff played in Patrick Swayze's movie, "Roadhouse".... the screenplay called for a blind guitarist who played the guitar on his lap... because the screenwriter had seen Jeff Healey somewhere along the line. It's a perfect circle, because Jeff played that part in the movie.

Is Jeff Healey the person who recorded "I Can See Clearly Now?"

Have faith, Jeff. With prayer anything is possible! I'm a 2-time cancer survivor.
