Heath Leger Sorry Mate
(click to view larger pic)
Why is this post here? Well I, like you, have now heard the news of Heaths passing. A few years back when the Ned Kelly film starring Heath came out. We went along to the red carpet premier (as on lookers). I had written and recorded a song about Ned Kelly titled Alexandrite (according to the book ‘A Short Life’. Ned Kelly had a rare type of eyes that glowed a certain colour when he became excited. Like the gem stone with the same name.) I had brought a couple of CD’s along, in the hope of giving a copy to the films producer Gregor Jordan. When Gregor walked past us on the red carpet we called out to him and he was nice enough to accept a CD.
Yet what we wern’t expecting to happen next, was having Heath Leger walk right next to us and sign the remaining CD. Very fortunate for us indeed, thanks Heath! Only to have a few moments later a Sydney Nova FM radio DJ Bianca Dye spot us through the crowd. Bianca yelled out to me (as she was over on the other side of the ropes) to throw the CD over to her as she would play it on air. That was the last I saw of our only autographed copy to us of Alexandrite, from Heath Leger. Heath, sorry mate. R.I.P
