Musical Tribute to Bryan J. Durman, Hero Police Officer

Funeral motorcade of Police Officer Bryan J. Durman. Music: “Greater Love” album title song performed by Jemimah and the Monaco Symphony in Lexington, Kentucky. Tuesday, May 4, 2010 funeral motorcade on Main Street at N. Limestone St., Lexington, Ky. Officer Durman, age 27, was killed by a hit and run driver on Thursday, April 29, 2010 while on duty with the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government Division of Police. He was also formerly a Sargent in the US Air Force before joining Lexington’s Division of Police. Weeks prior to this tragedy, he was commended for saving the life of a citizen. He leaves a wife and four-year old son, his family, many friends, and thousands of brothers and sisters in law enforcement represented by official police vehicles from practically every city and town in Kentucky. Lexington will never forget you. The three-mile long funeral motorcade began at approximately 2:20 pm, at the Southland Christian Church in neighboring Jessamine County, proceeded to Fayette County turning onto Man ‘O War Blvd., to Richmond Road inbound to downtown Lexington’s Main Street, South onto Broadway which becomes the Harrodsburg Road leading directly to the cemetery across the street from Southland Christian Church where the fallen hero was laid to rest with full military honors beginning about 4:30 pm. Thousands of citizens lined the streets along the fifteen-mile motorcade route to honor Officer Durman and show support for his family. Many citizens pulled over

Twenty years after dazzling audiences in his first solo Broadway concert early in his career, three-time Grammy Award-winner Harry Connick, Jr. returned to the Main Stage with a roster of favorites, performed in his trademark New Orleans style. GREAT PERFORMANCES “Harry Connick, Jr. in Concert on Broadway” premieres Wednesday, March 2, 2011, 9:30 pm ET. Featuring Connick’s big band and a 12-piece string section with Connick on both a Steinway grand and upright honky-tonk piano. Variety raved, “Connick, in concert, packs such dynamite that those ‘Jersey Boys’ across the street seem positively sedate.

    @richcinti
    Thank you to you and your team for honoring my husband during your Unity Tour. I wanted to thank you personally but I was unsure how to make contact. Words cannot express how much your thoughts and prayers mean to me. Bryan was a dedicated officer, supportive husband and outstanding father. Not a day goes by that my heart does not ache and I know all your hearts ache as well. Please continue to stay safe. Brandy Durman
