I just finished doing a search on YA and there are a whole lot of posts about Dan Fogelberg's passing, and I actually read through most of them and the majority, like me, have been very touched by him over the years. I actually posted a message on YA last night around 11:00 after I read about it while I was online. I can't even imagine a world without him and any new music that I'm sure he would have written. Fortunately we will always have the music he did create while he was with us. My younger years are filled with memories of his incredible music. I don't really remember exactly how or where I "discovered" him - I like to think he discovered me. He so touched me. Even though I didn't know him personally, I feel like he knew me because the way he wrote was just the way I thought and felt. His kind of talent is almost non-existent anymore. As far as I'm concerned, he is one of the most gifted and talented artists of my generation. Such a beautiful human being. The world is less now. My heart is hurting.

Yes, it's sad that his life was cut short by a disease that takes so many. At least he was home with those he loved in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. . I feel sorry for those who lose a loved one during the Christmas holiday. It seems especially sad and I can relate to the feelings..
I think he was a really talented singer and songwriter. He sang and spoke words with emotion that always appealed to me. One of my favorites was the song he wrote to honor his dad, "The Leader of The Band". Great song that I always favored the most.

My high school marching band played Believe In Me my freshman year, so a little.

It saddens me whenever a good person passes. I was never a fan of his music though.
