Dan Fogelberg Died Yesterday.
I know that this post will put me well into the "uncool" category but I can't help it.
The first time I saw Dan Fogelberg in concert was with my ex-husband. I knew who he was because my mom was a big fan when I was little but I wasn't what you would call a fan. I walked away from that show with a different opinion. I became a fan. He was great. His songs, while a bit schmaltzy and sentimental, are great. There is something for everyone. They are obviously written from the heart and he performed them quite beautifully.
Dan died from advanced Prostrate Cancer. He was diagnosed in 2004 and was too far gone. To read more about Dan's life check out his website at www.danfogelberg.com.
I wasn't able to find a good video of Dan singing this song so you will have to enjoy this one.
If you are a male who has never been checked for Prostate Cancer please have yourself checked. If caught in the early stages it can be treated. My dad is living proof!

My brother and I took my mom to a Dan Fogelberg concert for her birthday one year. I think I was a freshman in high school. I grew up with a lot of his music and loved it. My first dance with my ex-husband at our wedding was his song Longer.
I took my mom to see him back about 5 years ago. She is a huge fan and not only was it her first time seeing him but it was her first trip to the State Theater. I am glad I took her when I did.
I love Dan Fogelberg. I was sad to hear about this this morning. But eerie: I had "Leader of the Band" queued up on my iPod when I started my car this morning.
