ah, that really sucks. i went to this thread thinking that maybe he was going to be the "other" big name act for the National. Saw Jeff open for Bonnie Raitt back in '91 or '92. He kicked butt, big time. Truly outstanding musician, surely going to be missed.

I would have liked to have seen him in concert, but sadly, I never had the opportunity to see him play live. Now I never will, you are fortunate to have had that chance.
