The leader of the band is tired...

As if the trip down memory lane with the soft rock sounds of Dan Fogelberg wasn't emotional enough, I found out at the end of PBS's Soundstage that he passed away last year. He was just 56.

I don't know why all of his tunes are so familiar to me. I can't remember any Dan Fogelberg records at my house when I was growing up. I need to ask my mom and dad if they liked him. I bet my dad went through a Fogelberg stage, while my mom thought he was too sappy. Oh, and I suppose the KDWB-am playlist was heavy on the Fogelberg in the late 70s.

It turns out my mom was the Dan Fogelberg fan. She was sad to hear he died and said, "I am sure I have his LP around here someplace".
