    Every year for Christmas, my canadian cousin always used to send me a cassette of the "hot" canadian album of the moment. Of all the shit he sent me over the years, "See The Light" was the only album I ever got into. RIP.

    I like the little bio running below the clip, "American" Rock Vocalist/Guitarist. How do the Canadians feel about that? Anyways, cool clips, I hadn't seen the music video for "Gently weeps" for years.

    Bray and fellow bandmate Gary Scriven remembered their frontman as a musician of rare abilities with a generous nature and wicked sense of humor.

    Healey's true love was jazz, the genre that dominated his three most recent albums.

    His love of jazz led him to host radio shows in Canada where he spun long-forgotten numbers from his personal collection of more than 30,000 vinyl records.[/b]

    kinda, but I have to admit the line "Even though he was blind, he was somehow a terrible bluesman" had me laughing....I know Im going to hell for laughing at a dead man...

    RIP

    I liked Seeing the Light lp when it came out, can't remember what it sounds now. My friend who is deep deep into bluesrock told me he has been playing trumpet in a very bad jazz bands for the last few decades.
