This is so cool and very deserving a great artist.
So very, very glad to hear this. An outstanding guitarist and singer. Loved Jeff’s music and his legacy lives on in my heart!
I think this is fantastic even though I live in the US I think Jeff deserves to be recognized for his great talent everywhere especially from where he came from. His music and legacy will live on forever long after we are gone for so many more to enjoy ; but aren’t we the lucky ones to have had him for the brief time that we did. Peace
I’m in tears, been so long. Way to go gang, cheers!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to Jeff’s family, friends and associates. I sure wish this induction would have happened while Jeff was still with us.
woohoo, such a talented man, and an inspiration to many people all over the world not just canada.. great work by all involved, this news has just made my day…
So very happy Cristie & Roger that Jeff has finally been recongized as deserving of this honour. I know you’ve worked tirelessly to make it happen. Would love to be there on the 18th. We miss him still. Barb & Colin
Congratulations! It`s time do it!
This is great, great news.
Well deserved.
Worked as a tape-op on post for Ronnie Hawkins’ 60th Birthday Bash, Let It Rock, featuring members of the Band–Jeff’s on a few tracks, one with Jerry Lee Lewis. Awesome to see both Jeff AND the Band joining Canada’s best at the same time. I miss Jeff; he’ll never be forgotten. I am not a Wki- fan, but I attempted to add Let It Rock to Jeff’s discography, if anyone cares to tweak the formatting & add the disk to his list…he was great at everything. I’ll never forget him trying to talk me into riding to Kingston with him on the back of my Yamaha but I talked him down–it was a 400 Special, & we were drunk. Cheers & congratulations on your great site at this special time.
I am a lifelong Fan of Jeff’s. I love the song Angel Eyes, and I loved the song On The Road Again… I would be driving and it came on, I’d literally get out and dance on the side of the road! I so cried and mourned.
