I think we all feel a strong connection to him whether or not we as individuals had met him in person. Reading your account of the rehearsal and performance gives me chills. I can almost see it. How I wish there was a video of the rehearsal and the show. I’ll leave you all with my favorite quote from Jeff- “…I want it all next week, right now, this millisecond…life should sparkle and rush, burn with fire like hot melting steel, like freeze-burn from a comet.” …and his life certainly did.

You are so lucky to have met and performed with him. I linked this to my blog…

Literally the first time I heard his voice over 15 years ago (which I remember very clearly to this day) I was taken with it. Music has always been a huge part of my life and nothing had (or has since) moved me the way he did. The more I learned of him, by listening, reading, watching, the more he changed my life. I wanted nothing more than to see him play live and experience all that Jeff the musician was in person. My chance to do just that was coming up – I was heading to Memphis and planned to see him at Barristers where he played weekly. But he died just before that was to happen. Without ever meeting him Jeff had touched my life in such a profound way that his death was very intense and personal for me…

I have felt the same way about technique versus ear for a long time but have never heard anyone else voice this opinion.

Have been looking to acquire a recording but they are not easy to find. Time for someone of influence to ask the companies to release this for the public to buy?

I am not a great Internet researcher but vowed to track down the possibility of finding out more and hearing this again. So thanks!! I can boast of my prowess to my son ( aged 33 )- not really what he expects me to be doing at my age!
