Awesome as awesome gets badeye! I was fortunate enough to see SRV live, twice.(Roanoke, Va 1983 & Washington, DC 1989) Seeing and hearing him literally made me change the way I approached music. It was a VERY humbling yet motivating experience. Never had the honor of seeing Mr. Healy live but I listened to him a ton. I love his version of 'While My Guitar Gently Weaps'. And I dug him in 'Roadhouse' too!

Peace and Guitars,

Ahh,SouthPaw two greats for sure. Still miffed at myself for not going to see Steve Ray Vaughn
when he came close to us , but did get a chance to see Jeff Healy live in a bar a few yaers back and was truly amazing. Here he is with a local blues legend from our town, Matt Minglewood at Mingle Fest in Cape Breton.

Re: guitar wars

The guitar duel from the movie "Crossroads" set in Mississippi blues country - "cutting heads" between Steve Vai as the devil's guitarist and a young man with a classical backround.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?
