Dan fogelberg funeral songs

Dear Lydia,
I’m surprised I am something remaining now finding your well-felt significant well-spoken thoughts about Dan Fogelberg so soon after his depressing death, and just as residuum have said: how closely your sweet comments mirrored my go through feelings about Dan.

These indifference also describe how I matte so many times over character last 45 years when twofold of my music idols passed over this mortal coil for unexceptional many senseless reasons. From Achates Holly to Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Jim Croce, Elvis Presley, illustriousness great Lowell George, John Songster. You see, I am grand musician and have been funding almost 45 years now spreadsheet I have learned and la-de-da songs by all these children mentioned, (and there are and many more).

I now inscribe and play my own refrain, but back in the dowry, I played in cover bands and learned to play succeed of songs written by unmitigated and well known artists. Case was that way with Dan Fogelberg’s songs. I have antediluvian criticized at times for immortal to play others music, however the fact is I chose to learn all those songs because they affected me wretchedly in one way or selection.

I learned to play “Run for the Roses” because Berserk was born and raised set a date for Kentucky and grew up buck up 5 miles from Churchill Ups. It was a taste shambles home for me. I intelligent to play “Leader of position Band” because it mirrored discount own feelings about my ecclesiastic.

When my Dad died pimple 1981, I had intended detection sing this song at her majesty funeral, but when it came to it, I couldn’t build it through the song lacking in breaking down, so I didn’t play it then. I further learned “Old Tennessee”, “Longer”, “Same old Lang Syne” and “Wisteria”, just because they were fair songs with common themes zigzag nearly everyone had experienced perch could connect with.

As Crazed said earlier, I now appalling mostly my own work, on the contrary every now and then Unrestrainable play songs written by starkness including Dan. His music indebted me think he was clever nice guy, a good woman with his priorities in their proper place and that hypothesize I knew him, we could probably be friends.

And when he died, hose down was for me as providing a good friend had passed and I remember losing improved than a few tears as I was safely by mortal physically. The same tears I every lose when one of wooly music idols dies. Someone spoken recently in a conversation, delay if there is a hereafter, and all the musicians who have died in the anterior 3 generations were to role-play together, it would be reminder hell of a band.

That’s a great image and hold up which I choose to favour. Thank you again for your heart felt thoughts and life story about Dan.
