Goodbye Dan...



I was just informed that Dan Fogelberg passed away Sunday. I know I should probably have known he was sick, my childhood having been wrapped up in his music the way it was, but I didnt. This video clip reminds me that I need to get out all of his albums and play them back to back...such an extraordinary talent. He was my first concert ever as well.

And the reason I love you woman! Oh my goodness. I too was so upset to hear about him dying and have been wailing about it to everyone. I love love love that song, love him. Same Old Lang Syne is in my top 5 favorite songs. He's wonderful. :(

And......to all you men reading, prostate cancer is one of the most preventable cancers!! Get em' checked!!!!!!!!

When I was little, horses were my favorite thing on the planet so naturally Run For the Roses was my favorite song (along w/ Michael Martin Murphy's 'Wildfire). As I got older, I started to love 'Longer' and a beautiful old song he did in the seventies called 'Souvenirs'. And have you ever heard 'Wysteria'? The stuff of dreams let me tell you...

And right on about the prostate checking! I mean, I know that exam has to be humiliating but get to it, fellas!

Awww, I had no idea that he even died. I have his greatest hits and it's one of my favorites. Like Brooke my all time favorite song of his is, Same Old Lang Syne. I love that song and Run for the Roses. I was thinking of that song as we drove through Kentucky a few months ago.
