Dan Fogelberg dead, aged 56
p2pnet news | Music:- Singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg died yesterday, aged 56.
Said his web page yesterday:
Dan left us this morning at 6:00am . He fought a brave battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with his wife Jean at his side.
His strength, dignity, and grace in the face of the daunting challenges of this disease were an inspiration to all who knew him.
I was raised by a river
Weaned upon the sky
And in the mirror of the waters
I saw myself learn to cry

Who cares?
I do.
Dan’s Old Lang Syne is one of the songs I never get tired of listening to.

The Leader of the Band has died. Prostate cancer took this young 56 year old singer/songwriter. It has been said that had it been caught earlier, Dan might have survived. As a prostate cancer survivor I was diagnosed at age 47 (quite by accident). Fogelberg’s diagnosis happened when he was 52 and by then it was in advanced stages. As a professional speaker ( http://www.chuckgallagher.com ) I have the opportunity to speak to groups nation wide. While my presentations don’t center around this disease, I use every opportunity available to encourage men to get checked early and often. A simple blood test done soon enough could mean the difference between life and death.

Who cares…. a great many care. a kinder gentler man you never met, Dan you’ll be missed
as your beautiful words so richly put it you will live on longer than your physical being
Longer than thereve been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than thereve been stars up in the heavens
Ive been in love with you.
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.
Ill bring fires in the winters
Youll send showers in the springs
Well fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
Ill be in love with you.
Longer than thereve been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than thereve been stars up in the heavens
Ive been in love with you
I am in love with you..

Over the past few days I’ve started listening to his music again. For me, it brings back a lot of memories. His peaceful music contained a certain emotion that really makes you sit and ponder. Songs like The Last Nail, The River, Illinois….I could go on and on. These are a few of the songs that I’ve listened to a dozen times over the past few days. We’ll miss him and his music.
Rest in peace.
