We will forever be in the debt of all those involved in the tribute evening to Bhrian for allowing us the opportunity of expressing how we felt about him and the effect he had on our lives. To say he will be missed is such an understatement. He was certainly like no other. He rattled our cages of complacency thats for sure. Our thoughts are with you at this dark time. Love as always, Jim, Dympna and Connolly Heron.
I was so sorry to hear of Brians passing. He was one of a kind-- a true eccentric with a passionate vision-- the world needs more like him. Nate Edelman Saddened beyond measure to hear of my Uncle Brians passing. Pity he didn't make it as far as Ireland. I'm sure all will get great comfort from the memory of the musical celebration you had with him in on his birthday at the end of January. Our thoughts are with all the family at this very sad time. Ar Dheis Lmh D go raibh a Anam Dlis.
Hello again Che, Morghean and Yury, Attached is the famous Orange Toast, which you may remember your father doing in your youth. Again, this is from "Mar a Bh agus Mar At As it Was and As it Is," the benefit for the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association that was mounted by the Artists' Committee of NAIF on March 17, 1972. The narrator's voice is that of Peter Rogan: (STEVE put these two links in audio section as well) Mar a Bh agus Mar At As it Was and As it Is: A History of Ireland in Music, Poetry, & Theater (1.24:49) http://www.mediafire.com/?1smqs1t287mom2f Irish Arts Center Pre-History Brian Heron Interview by Bill Ochs & Nancy Lyon in Late 1970s (1:00:22) http://www.mediafire.com/?2d5cdu2gjx95qxu
Best, Bill Ochs I was telling Morghean a story where I witnessed Brian being thrown out of a bar in the west of Ireland on top of a crowd of people belting out the Orange Toast and them not getting the theater or satire behind the whole thing. I used to watch the crowd as I got older wondering who I would have to block before they could get to him when he did it years later.
