A legend, sadly missed
03 Farewell Ronnie Drew.m4a
April 3, 2010
For Drew...a founding member of the Irish folk group The Dubliners.
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.
Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.
Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.
Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

The Ballad Singer rests his head
From all the Songs he carried for so long
Thank God He passed on his special flavour to us all
I remember the nights in the Savoy Cork
When we rose from our seats in admiration of one of Irelands greatest.

Ronnie
Your legacy is to the many thousands of Dub’s at home and more so abroad who through your songs and stories have a deep appreciation of Dublin, its culture and its heritage.
Now that you and Luke are reunited I have no doubt that the Angles Harps will be replaced by the bodhran and banjo and the two most passionate voices of Irish music will be heard within the heavens.
May you rest in Peace

I just learned about the Dubliners a short time ago. I've been in love with the Irish songs but really fell hard for the Dubliners. Ronnie's voice gave the music a heart and soul. You and Luke sing a chorus of Black Velvet Band for the good Lord and you'll have a favored place forever! May the road rise up to meet you!

The music of Ronnie Drew and the Dubliners was always a kind of stepstone in my life. I am very sad that he passed away. Ronnie, I guess in heaven they did not wanted to wait any longer for the arrival of a great singer. Thank you so much for the beautifull music and all the moments you cheared up my life. My condoleances to the family and friends. Adios.

A great sorrow that he is no longer in the world. Ronnie was a man of unexpected sophistication -- even in his twenties he could take you by surprise. As fame took him, I think, leaving him unspoiled. It was a pleasure to know him -- and Luke and Ciaron, also gone from us, and the indomitable Barney -- in the first moment of youthful amazement that such wonderful things could happen in life as The Dubliners.

What a loss to Ireland and to Irish Music. Thankfully, your music and your wonderful VOICE will go on thanks to records etc. The world of Irish Music is going to be a lesser place without you. As Bono said in his Ballad of Ronnie Drew "here's to you Ronnie Drew" Rest Peacefully Lad.

A very sad day, I first saw Ronnie play and sing back in the late sixties in a pub in Dublin
Loved his music but I feel he is at Peace now with his lovely late wife.
Heaven has gained another star.
What a legacy of memories and music
Ronnie has left.
Rest in Peace
