GUITARS | Jeff Healy - See The Light (with Dr John) / Look At Little Sister (with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble)

 I don’t quite understand how I have not shared any Jeff Healey before and this is truly extraordinary

Here with Dr John playing perhaps his most famous hit. Known mostly from his rock/blues covers, Healy lost his eyes (literally) as a child to cancer and scarcely made it into his forties as it came back to claim him but in the short time he was with us I don’t really understand how he plays with his affliction [of being unable to actually see what he is doing] but also playing with his left hand approaching the fretboard like a ruddy keyboard!

See The Light*  - Jeff Healy

Jeff Healey in 1988 on the Jools Holland/David Sanborn hosted, 'Night Music'. Dr. John on piano, Marcus Miller on bass, Omar Hakim on drums... quite possibly one of the hottest bands ever assembled! This clip screams pure joy. It's a blast watching Marcus lose it as Jeff takes it to another level.

and here with the legendary Stevie Ray and Double Trouble
