Yes FLHW: "A sad day for the music industry and the PCa community." Fogelberg was a great creator of music and a great technician too. I heard he played all of the instruments on his major recordings, which is no easy feat.
As in many. many New Years past, this year I'll be playing "Same Old Lang Syne" on my piano.

Age 45 (44 when Dx)

Dan Fogelberg's memory envoking music will be missed by all. The leader of the band was written in honor of Folgelberg's father. His father's memory continues on every time that song is played. How clever :>)

~ ~ Dan Folgelberg ~ ~

 

The last album ~ yes “album” I bought for Buddy was in 1984… High Country Snows

 

We did not know about his fight and after researching a few things after reading Dave’s links above… and researching more… I found this link.

  Excerpts from his web site…

Ø       A personal letter from D.F.

Ø       Now for the sermon…

 

<end excerpt>

 

This disease is a silent killer…  Do not allow it to remain silent.

Continue speaking out!!!!!

Sharing the Knowledge we have all gained by

Caring Enough to Share

 

A warm prayer for Dan Folgelberg as he travels on his final journey… a very peaceful journey.  What a gift he gave the world…. Music!

 

Gentle thoughts of his loved ones as they move forward as we all must do… 

 

We won’t be silent!!!!!

We did lose a great man in the music community. His music told stories. It evoked emotion. These are things that are lacking in most of todays music. I will say a prayer for him today. Can you just imagin the band he is playing with now! What a concert to go to. He did send us all a message about how we should fight this monster. "Run for the roses".
