He was a very talented musician. It’s a shame he died so young.
Heard Dan in concert in the early ‘90s. What a talented guy. Put out a lot of great music.
I particularly liked his uplifting ballad, Songbird.
Added to my “Wishlist” at Half.com (available for as little as $.75-”good” condition, $2.00-”like new” condition... plus $3 shipping).
Thanks.
I remember when the national focus was on Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby winner who later broke his leg. Fogelberg’s, “Run for the Roses,” was being played with a lot of the media accounts and retrospectives after Barbaro died...it was almost as though that song had been written for that horse...and ironically, Fogelberg died within a year or so after that.
One of the most beautiful albums ever!
