JEFFREY SCOTT COFFMAN ~ SEPTEMBER 26, 1967 ~ FEBRUARY 26, 1995

I just happened upon these ole photos yesterday, and I have been wanting to find some photos of my younger brother, Jeffrey Scott...His daughter, Riley, will celebrate her sixteenth birthday on December 13, 2009. I had planned to make a video of Jeffrey using many more photos that I do not have access to right now...So, with these few photos, I decided to bring to life as much as possible a few of the life and times of Jeffrey Scott...Anyone that knew him..could never forget him..

The turkeys represent Jeffrey's love for nature, critters, and old folk...

I will never forget at 1:11... It was Jeff's birthday, and we gave him a great big ole ten gallon cowboy hat and a BB Gun... It brought him to tears, he was so happy and thankful...He wore that hat big and proud..

I somewhat put this together in a bit of a hurry because I wanted it here for Riley's sixteenth birthday...but, I do plan to get better photos and edit a little better..sorry, for the blurry photos..such sweet sweet memories..

Riley is a beautiful mix of her mom and dad...and, because of the magic of movie maker, I was able to capture that for a moment at 2:43..love that moment..

and, the photo of Jeff with the big smile...I believe that would be him right now applauding Riley for the beautiful young woman she has become...he was crazy about you when you were born...I do know that..


The photo where Riley's dad is beside her...They were both attending a Homecoming Dance.. how great is is to be able to find a way to put them together...for such an unforgettable moment..

Unplugged is an album by Eric Clapton released in 1992. It was recorded live in England for the MTV Unplugged series and includes acoustic versions of both the hit single "Tears in Heaven" and a heavily reworked "Layla". Clapton earned three Grammy Awards for the album: Album of the Year, Best Rock Male Vocal, and Best Rock Song; he earned another three for the record and song "Tears in Heaven". In 2000 Q magazine placed Unplugged at number 71 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums.

Clapton performed the show in front of a small audience on January 16, 1992 at Bray Film Studios in Windsor, England. In addition to the final album tracks, the performance included early versions of "My Father's Eyes" and "Circus Left Town" along with "Worried Life Blues."[2] Clapton played a Martin 000-42 guitar for much of this performance.

Lyrics:

Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.

Just a toerag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.

Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.

As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
