Derek Bell was a personal hero of mine. His work on “Chieftains 5 ” inspired me to take up the harp about 30 years ago. I once met him backstage at the U of W Seattle, in 1978 after a Chieftains performance. I could barely summon the ability to speak to him, awestruck as I was. But he was very personable, leprechaun-like, and astonishingly cross-eyed, i.e. human. I’m very sorry he’s gone, but they say the harp is the instrument of choice in Heaven…We might get an encore, after all.
