Sad news to hear... I'll pour myself another coffee and drink to his memory listening to "Shake Me". Rest In Power, Jeff! :dood:

Wow... . I liked Cinderella too, and Jeff LaBar was an awesome hard-rocking and bluesy guitarist too. What a shame... 58 is way too young! R.I.P. Jeff LaBar.

My buddy Joe was in school with Tom. 2010 we got to go to Electric factory in Philly for private invite for the first test show since his voice came back. great band & Jeff was a great guitar player. They were always tight live & that bluesy to rock back n forth is so tasty. RIP

MAN, this is rough to see. I am 1/2 way thru my 57th year too.

Of course I started losing buddies at age 17, so sad to lose loved ones at all ages.

As I am typing this, I am doing my best to keep things together inside myself. My mom had a stroke Wednesday and possibly has had more since then. She is in a small hospital in Lewes De. but now I just got a call from a doctor that they need to fly her to Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia where they are apparently better stroke personnel. Helicopter is en route.

Now googling how to get to Jefferson Hospital, Phila Pa.

Prayers and good vibes to you and your family Mark. Travel safe and keep us informed.

TYVM Bdon, Adrian, 67, Mike...

Trying to keep my mental faculties until we hear from Philly,now.
I will set up a separate thread about mom so this can stay on topic about Jeff Labar. For his son and family, all my sympathies and prayers at losing your dad. The world is a lesser place without him.
