To fond memories forever.

'Gratitude is the memory of the heart.' (Jean Massieu) Feeling so damn grateful for the enormous impact you've had on so many lives the world over, for the laughter & love you have shared with us all, & for the memories we'll carry in our hearts forever.

Dear Ed - all of us musicians and artists from Ireland (and many Irish-Americans too!) have you to thank for being such a positive driving force in the world of Irish culture in the USA. You are a hero to us all!
