Stood in "Thee" Orchard.....Thank you Kevin for this song.....and Thank you Liam ......for your kind words and sharing thoughts........and your Tree''s each hand planted by you......God Bless see you again...in Tir Na Nog..........
So miss seeing him in concert but so grateful for You Tube and all the songs he gave us. No one can replace him. The singer and song so blended we cannot separate them. As Yeats said "--How can we tell the dancer from the dance". Pure magic.
in our neighborhood in queens we sat on the floor by the stereo and listened. when we came home on sunday from our Nanny and Grampas we listened to Dorothy Haden. We listened to our music ..... we were so rich. thank you .
One of the best singers ever who gave so much joy to so many for so long and still does,that orchard wall gets nearer with the passing years,R.I.P. Liam, our loss is heavens gain.
He was a legendary singer and poet ....a trailblazer.....an Irish troubadour
But to be in the mans presence was to experience his uniquely human character.
He was joy and pain in the flesh.
His legacy lay not in how he helped shape and launch the Irish Folk Renaissance that changed the way Irish Culture is viewed globally.
But in the lives of all of the people his message effected,
His music enriched my life .
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace...amen
