Horvat e-Update
March 2008

Dear friends,
I was listening to the radio while having breakfast this past Monday morning when I heard the very sad news of the passing of Jeff Healey. I never met Jeff but was always an admirer of his from afar. There wasn't an instrument that he hadn't tried or a style of music that he hadn't been influenced by. A true creative soul in a day and age when pigeon holing oneself seems to be the norm. Thanks for the music Mr. Healey. - Frank
