Do you remember Dan Fogelberg, the folkey singer of the late 70s/early 80s? I’m sure you do…
Well, I just found out that he died 5 years ago! He wrote some pretty memorable, if not schmaltzy songs, if you’re from that era. 🙂
My favourite was Longer, but I also really liked Same Auld Lang Syne. Fogelberg died of prostate cancer at the young age of 56. I am hearing a lot about all types of cancer these days, and like Dan Fogelberg’s songs, it makes me sad.
Too many good people are being stricken and I really don’t believe the “cancer industry” is the path to the cure. I do not know what is, but there must be one out there somewhere. Today is my mother’s birthday, and I hope there are many more cakes and candles and old Auld Lang Synes to sing.
Anyway, sorry for getting verklemped – if you haven’t heard Dan F. see the vids on Youtube (links above), you’ll appreciate the schmaltz 🙂
