S. Yeti Bigfoot, Esq. Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 That's sad. He was truly one of the greats.

miroslav Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 That's a real bummer... I remember enjoying the stuff he did with Tim Weisberg...back in the late 70s. Nice, acoustic/folky easy listening stuff. He was a real good songwriter. This is a another reminder to all you middle aged guys to keep getting that prostate checked...regularly! miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

Bluesape Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Sad - he's been off the radar a while, but I never knew he was sick. One of the best in mellow music. Superb songwriter. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Wasn't expecting that one at all. A sad shocking bit of news there. Just a pinch between the geek and chum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdrs Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Dan had a knack for touching people.....he did me. I loved his music. He will be sadly missed. Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

mdrs Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Every man should have a digital rectal exam of his prostate yearly. If you have a family history of prostate cancer, start these exams at age 40. Fortunately, I do not have a family history of prostate cancer. But I've gone to my Urologist for a yearly rectal exam every year since I was 40. I do it at the time of my birthday, as an important gift to myself. This and regular colonoscopy would save thousands of lives, and MAYBE EVEN YOURS!! Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

rickygclef Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 RIP Dan Yeah one of the albums with Tim Weissberg was "Twins Sons of Different Mothers". Really good stuff, they did have a hit with "Power of Gold". I had actually asked for it for my birthday one year and rememember my father saying they sounded like a law or accounting firm- (Fogelberg and Weissberg)LOL "Leader of the Band" spoke to me in many different ways. He was a really good songwriter. He definitely get pegged as ultra mellow, but he was an excellent guitarist and musician. My Dad passed almost 20 years ago from prostate cancer. We have a big history of cancer in my family. I've had the digital exam and had a scrip for the colonoscopy but have put it off. I think I may actually go through with it after the new year.

fantasticsound Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I just heard this morning.. Dan Fogleberg, while not exactly my favorite artist, had some incredible songs I count among my favorites to hear and play. I remember figuring out Leader Of The Band and feeling like I'd leapt to a new height in my playing. Great lyric as well. Longer, Run For The Roses, Part Of The Plan and others from his greatest hits albums really strike a chord for me. One of my favorite songs to play on piano is Same Auld Lang Syne. I just wish I could sing that high. (I hated trying to play it in another key.) It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Eric Iverson Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 He wasn't my favorite artist, either, but I too am sad to hear he's gone. Just 'cause he's was a fellow musician! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior 1 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 It's really a shame. He was only 56! Same age that I am! Doc's right. Get tested every year. My numbers started to climb and 3 months ago I got my act together, started eating better, lost 15 pounds, and went back to working out every day for 30 minutes. I used to be a long distance runner till 5 years ago when my knees broke down. Now I use a Nordic Track skier. The point is, my PSA went from 4.3 to 3.7 in that time! Colesterol went from 230 to 184! Any questions? Oh yeah, I feel much better. Still suck on guitar though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonoscopy is a breeze. The "colon prep" is the toughest part. Basically you'll take some pills, or a liquid, then crap your brains out the night before the colonoscopy. The procedure itself is nothing....you'll wake up, and it's done. I'm due again in Feb. I'm gonna get it done at the same time as my wife.... The couple that scopes together....... Get it done!!!! You'll be glad you did. Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

rickygclef Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 No problem, you sold me on it. I'll definitely get one ASAP. I'm sure the prep would be the worst of it. I had to do it for an IVP a few years ago for kidney stones. Now, should I bring the doctor flowers or candy? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertbluesman Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 RIP Dan Fogelberg All the more reason every male over 40 should read The Prostate Cancer Treatment Book. http://www.amazon.com/Prostate-Cancer-Treatment-Book/dp/0071422560 I never was a fan of Dan Fogelberg so I can't comment on any of his work, it is not that I did not like his work, I just never paid any attention to it. dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior 1 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The prep isn't even that bad, just cut back on the food intake for a few days before taking the prep and everything will come out fine!!! Oops!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
