A Tribute to Dan Fogelberg

Monday, 17. December 2007, 02:53:41

I just learned...probably my favorite songwriter and artist, Dan Fogelberg, just passed away after a heroic battle against cancer. To say his lyrics touched me throughout my life would be a failed understatement. I wish him a garland of roses when they applaud his entrance into Heaven.

I am so sorry to hear about his passing. This is one of my favorite songs. He had so many songs I loved. I can see why you loved him so much. I am sad too.

That's very touching and what a lovely song!I've never heard that before, thank God he shared his gift with the world.

You could be his brother u know, there r alot of similarities

It's a beautiful song. It's a pity that Dan Fogelberg wasn't much known in France. They will heard great songs now in Heaven

I don't agree with your politics, but I do agree with your choice of musicians... my condolences to you. I, too, will miss Dan Fogelberg's music. He was amazingly gifted and the music so moving and poignant.

Hard to snark when someone dies. Bummer all the way around.

Hi Mark,
I too am a huge DF fan. Been listening to his music for 36 years.

I have put together my own tribute song to Dan. You might like to take a listen. RIP Dan.
