 A few seconds ago, my heart stopped beating, the world collapsed, Tears welled up, filling my eyes, my soul ripped, A piece of me, died, knowing, of your passing. I was In shock, utter dismay, hurt and pain, with every beat, of heart, in my chest. a beautiful person, inside and out, poet, friend, Your music, touched me, so deeply, Everyday I drive, your songs play, in my car. "Longer" was one, was a favorite, as many of yours,  a soulful voice, soft, tender, magical, music and lyrics, from a man of nature, felt in your words. Never have I cried, over someone famous, you were different, You were a part of me, embedded in my soul, like a brother, Your songs gave me hope, thoughts to write poetry, you were one-of-a-kind. a dying breed of songwriters, and musicians that will never, be again, I wished I could have met you, Mr. Dan Fogelberg, we had so much in common. Kindred souls, I'll be "Missing You" you ARE the best~ Now May you be playing with "The Leader Of The Band"  Here are links to his websites.... http://thelivinglegacy.net/condolences.html http://www.thelivinglegacy.net/DFBiography.html http://www.thelivinglegacy.net/index2.html You know you're in love, when you can't fall asleep,because reality is finally better than your dream~Dr.Seuss |

ARH, I think this is such a heartfelt soulful tribute. I'm sorry to say I don't know him, but you made me curious ... I'll look for a CD. A man who brings joy to others has fulfilled his task, no doubt. Love, Margherita  |

ARH, Thank you that was beautiful. I was unaware of Dan's passing until I saw the title of your post..A sad day indeed as he was also one of my favorite singer/songwriters & a source of much inspiration..... "Longer than there are stars up in the heaven, higher than any bird ever flew." Dan was THE man, RIP. John |
