I was so sad to see the news that Dan Fogelberg lost his 3 1/2 year battle with prostate cancer yesterday. His music and lyrics were so powerful and so many people connected with him and his songs in a very personal way.
I remember being on a long driving trip once, having been on the road all night, and as the sun was coming up, I put on one of my favorite Fogelberg songs, To The Morning. It wasn't a big hit like a lot of his other songs, but it was perfect for the moment.
It's times like this when I really appreciate technology. Not only do we have Dan's music recorded forever, but You Tube has a number of videos, including concert footage. It wouldn't be the holidays without Dan's Same Auld Lang Syne, and who can listen to Leader of the Band without thinking of their own Dad? And hundreds of people have posted their parting thoughts in memory.
There's a complete discography, lyrics, and a message from his family on the official Dan Fogelberg website.
