Collaborations

Full Circle - Walter Trout's first studio album of new material since 2001's Go the Distance. Not only has the hotshot guitarist worked and maintained friendships with these players, but they convened in the same studio at the same time to nail these tunes. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of Trout's friends are guitarists who - like him - prefer to charge through songs with the intensity of a salmon swimming upstream. Joe Bonamassa, Bernard Allison, Guitar Shorty, Jeff Healey, Junior Watson, and Coco Montoya all share guitar-duel duties. Track: Working Overtime - Trout, Walter & Jeff Healey

I think the article would benefit from a photograph illustrating how he holds his guitar when playing. — Apr. 17, '06 [08:52] <freakofnur_xture |talk>

Done, I uploaded an image I took of him playing last night & created the infobox.

No idea how a guitar is held?

I find it a bit hard to believe that two people living in Canada should have "no idea" how a guitar is held. Would be good to check up on this. Icemuon 10:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be his style... check out the videos of him on YT, they all seem to have him holding it like that: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jeff+healy&search= Arcterex 08:10, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that is the problem - Icemuon means it is strange that his parents did not know how to hold a guitar the "proper" way. He could still have learned to play the way he does, if he had attempted to learn it the proper way first. Adam Bishop 08:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

he had like a 8 fret strech that way —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 15:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and of mid importance, as apparentely he is rather well known outside of Canada. Cheers, CP 04:45, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected the assesments to "stub", as the article is almost completely unreferenced. In fact, since it is about a living person, is there a reason all the unreferenced material shouldn't be deleted? -- Mikeblas (talk) 23:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 14:13, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Early radio appearances

Jeff appeared from the age of 14 on the CBC radio program "Fresh Air" with hosts Bill McNeil http://www.worldofradio.com/dxld3018.txt and Cy Strange http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Cy_Strange. http://www.cityofkingston.ca/cityhall/press/release.asp?mode=show&id=2126 He demonstrated an encyclopedic knowledge of jazz from a certain era. In particular, he seemed to be a big fan of Bix Beiderbecke http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Bix_Beiderbecke. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.194.128 (talk) 00:39, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Acting Career?

I am curious as to why there is little to no mention of Jeff's performance in the movie 'Road House', which was the first time I had heard his music. If I recall, there were several scenes where he had lines.

--Powertrippin (talk) 17:24, 4 March 2008 (UTC) regardless of that he is still byfar one of the finest gutarists to have graced my ears over the years. rest in peace jeff !!!!!!!!!!! apecoraro june 19 2008 10:50 PM —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.74.79 (talk) 02:52, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Live at Healey's

In discography I see album "Live at Healey's", 2003. At Bolder records site I see one disk, and here I see another disk with same name. I can't believe, that two disks with same names was issued in one year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.138.18.139 (talk) 16:35, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Very Best of

Discography says "1998 The Very Best of Jeff Healey" but I believe this was The Very Best of the Jeff Healey Band. Nurg (talk) 10:08, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Survived by

The phrase "is survived by" reflects the contemporaneous nature of an obituary, which has a publication date. For an encyclopedia article or any biography that is for posterity or written after the fact, survivors should be introduced by the phrase "was survived by". Here is a recent obituary that, due to its publication many years after the death of the subject, takes pains to avoid the phrase "is survived by". A news search for the phrase "was survived by" quickly confirms that it is an accepted form. ^Bongo_matic 02:20, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discography

There seem a lot of albums listed twice. This list needs to be edited and possibly resorted. -- Beardo (talk) 03:10, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
