We lost another great one yesterday...Dan Fogelberg lost his cancer fight. Sad day - no matter what you think of him as a musician, he had gifts we should all be so lucky to have. Satin voice, good chops, and most importantly, incredible songwriting and lyric-writing abilities. Go back into his catalog, and tell me you con't find something you don't dig. Yeah, even you head-bangers. :P
And if you don't dig the acoustic style, just browse his lyrics(http://www.danfogelberg.com/lyrics.html). What a story teller. RIP Dan, you were one of the great ones...

    +1 on this. Dan Fogelberg was one of the finest performers I ever had the privilege of seeing. Superb songwriting. Phoenix remains one of my favorites, and it's rather fun to play on guitar as well. I remember seeing him at a solo acoustic concert in Arizona. It was actually a political fundraiser, but Dan was the headline peformer. He did the instrumental thing from Twin Sons of Different Mothers, while playing his part and scat-singing Tim Weisberg's flute part. He was a fabulous talent that leaves behind a wonderful body of work for us all to enjoy.

    His dad was the band leader at Peoria, Ill. high school (about 70 miles from me) My wifes brother went to school with Dan there. He was an awesome talent.
