Rory Gallagher performing his song, "Could Have Had Religion." He wrote a great many wonderful songs, but I believe this is one of his best. Anyone fortunate enough to have attended any of Rory Gallagher's blistering hot performances could never forget him. He expressed his passion and love of blues music every time he stepped on stage, poured his heart and soul into everything he played, and he swept the audience up with him along the way. He was an ambassador for the blues- brought it to new audiences all over the world. He was an inspiration and example to young musicians wherever he went. He was an extraordinarily talented musician and artist, yet very humble, generous, and kind in spirit. He rightly deserves to be recognized for his contribution to blues music and musicians.

Blues Hall of Fame ® Interviewer: Rory Gallagher was and still is a hero of the common man.
He loved The Blues and played for those of us who felt the same. He was the "anti rock star" choosing musical integrity over fame every time. He made us all feel like his peers.

He was kind and approachable at his shows, spending hours after an exhausting performance meetingand discussing music with his fans.

I was lucky enough to have had this experience, and when he died, I can tell you, we, his fans morned not just a
Great Musician, but a great man and a dear friend.

To this day we still meet in Ireland, at the Rory Festival in Ballyshannon.

From all parts of the world we come and celebrate Rory together as a family, left behind and holding on to each
Other with steadfast determination to keep Rory's memory and Music alive.
This is Rorys legacy. Joyce Lichtenberger June 20, 2011
