I’m sure there’s a herd in heaven, and we can all roam together again someday 💗

So sorry for your loss.

We all need someone like Ed in our life. So very sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry for the loss of your 💔 friend. He looks like such a gentle soul. What you wrote was moving and it touched me in a way, I didn't expect. I never met the man. Sending hugs and good vibes your way. Safe travels. Looking forward to seeing you next year. 💜 🎻 🎶 🎸 🎼 🎤 ❤

Thanks for posting Tara ,sorry to hear.

Beautiful tribute to a wonderful kind man. God rest his soul 🙏🏻

😪🙏

Beautiful tribute.

Amen!

❤

ED??? OH NOOOO! :'(

Oh no! Ed was always a friendly face at shows. Rest In Peace, gentle soul!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Perhaps there’s a song coming?❤️

That was such a sweet tribute and the sentiment is one of the reasons we've been going to see you guys for 20 years or so.

Oh no, that is such sad news. Ed was such a kind person. I will miss seeing him at the shows. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am Ed’s niece an want to thank you for your kind words. We are in shock an heart broken over loosing him so suddenly. He absolutely was an expert on DTB an every family gathering we would be caught up on your travels an all your music. He invited the family to your show at The Spinning Jenny an I so enjoyed seeing his face light up when you guys were preforming. There will never be anyone like him.

So sorry for your loss!!!😢

I don't recall Ed at Merlefest 2004 where we first heard Donna, but I damn sure remember him from nearly every show after that. He was invariably kind, gracious, and so very much in love with Donna the Buffalo - the music, and even more the community that we all helped create around the music. As a fellow teacher, we exchanged strategies on how to get days off to follow the band (his were always more daring and successful than anything I came up with). Ed would always simply appear - at the edge of the crowd, close to the rail - within a minute of the first note. I've exchanged many warm acknowledgements with him at a distance in just that way. Ed was always kind and warm to my children (long since adults now) in the same way he was kind and warm to us all. I will miss him and I will feel him at every Donna show I ever attend. Rest easy my good friend. You are still with us - across the way.

Sorry about your friend

I am so sorry for your loss, Tara. You wrote a beautiful and moving tribute that underscores how much you loved your friend. My deepest sympathies.

👍🏾🎶😷🌻

I'll forever cherish when his father Preston joined you guys in the dance tent at the Great Blue Heron one year. I dont think I've ever danced that hard or that long nonstop in my life ❤

So...choosing Joe Biden is "choosing light and uplifting"? On what planet? Holy ignorance, Batman.

Stay positive today.

Oh please
