Not my cup of tea, but anything that turns on the babes as much as some of his stuff can't be all bad. Interesting voice, too. Maybe in the 'underated' category?

whitefang Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 That's sad to hear. My nephew's fiancee's cancer moved into her bones, and it was all over. Hope he has better luck. Funny thing...although I didn't like all of Dan's songs, I didn't HATE any of them! If you get my drift... whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

Super 8 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 It's spread to his bones. Unfortunately, that is a pretty bad sign. Super 8 Hear my stuff here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanmass Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hmm, on his web site, he sounds pretty positive. Prostate cancer is by far one of the most curable cancers. I hope he pulls through. Some of his older songs, cliched as they seem now a days, still raise the hair on my neck. I had a very talented friend in high schools who sang and played a perfect redition of leader of the band to his musicion father in the Moose Lodge in Rockwood, Michigan to about 40 people. Iswear to god, about the whole place was teared up. That song is nearly perfectly written.

Tedster Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Originally posted by daklander: Morning Sky is, to me, his absolute best song. Amen. Can't be a true acoustic player til you've played that a few times. And it makes for a great segue with "Friend of the Devil". I sure hope he comes through. I'll agree...the "spread to his bones" doesn't sound too promising. Guys...get your PSA tests. Docs will tell you you don't really need 'em 'til you're 50. Well, last fall, when I was 46...I had my surgery...and they were drawing all this blood. I said, "Hey, while you're at it, do a PSA on me, will ya?" They did. My numbers were fine. But, Fogelberg's only 53...so, I dunno, don't wait til you're 50. Go ahead and get it checked if you're over 40 or 45.

3D Audio Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I'll admit that fogelberg was the first artist that I bought everything he released and was waiting in line for it when it came out. I didn't need to hear it first. I knew I'd love it. Twin Sons was a favorite of mine. Lynn Fuston 3D Audio Inc Home of 3dB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourMotherShouldKnow Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 About 13 years ago I taught a student the intro to Leader of the Band for months until he got it down. We spent a lot of that practice time drinking beer and talking about Vietnam but still it took a long time for him to get that tune down. I like Fogelberg. His lyrics aren't up to Paul Simon quality but they're pretty damn good. Hopefully he beats his illness. I have a feeling that some great minds are gonna find something close to a cure for that soon.

Fendercaster Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 "As the Raven Flies" was one of the first songs I learned when I started playing lead, a powerful song. Best wishes to Dan, I hope he pulls through. As Tedster said, get your PSA checked! Two years ago, at age 52, I had some urinary symptoms, and had just had some blood tests done. I asked my doctor if she had checked my PSA,and she hadn't. So we had the test done, and mine was elevated. After a biopsy, the diagnosis was cancer, I went through radioactive seed implantation and external radiation, so far, so good. So, get your PSA tested, and if your doctor doesn't suggest it, demand it!! My gear: http://fendercaster.freeservers.com/guit3.html If you own two Lexus cars, do you have Lexi?

fantasticsound Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Funny... as much as I like many of the songs on Dan Fogelberg's greatest hits, it never occured to me to buy his individual albums. Leader Of The Band has been in my repetoire as long as I can remember, and I figured out the basic hook to Same Auld Lang Syne on the piano and comp'd the rest. I've been playing those two and others since the greatest hits CD was released, and a fan of several songs a few years earlier. Originally posted by daklander: Morning Sky is, to me, his absolute best song. Hang in there Dan You can kick cancer's ass too.I'm going to have to go back and find this and some others mentioned here. I wish him the best in his fight against cancer, but realistically I think he's being the good soldier (very important to keep an upbeat frame of mind when battling cancer). I'd always heard cancer in the bones was pretty much a done deal. Just a matter of time. Anyone have better information? It was my understanding that radiation, to be effective in the bones, causes too much damage to red-blood cell production. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

russrags Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I saw Dan Fogelberg in concert around 1980 and was blown away at what a guy can do to a crowd of 20K people with only a hard back chair and an A GTR !@#$%^& This year I saw Prince do the same thing Dan has a pretty impressive box set, but I really like his Phoenix album too.

Anyone have better information? It was my understanding that radiation, to be effective in the bones, causes too much damage to red-blood cell production. It used to be an absolute fatal situation. Today however, there's a strong chance for survival. My Multiple Myeloma manifisted itself in one large bone tumor and some other spots. Once the tumor was removed and the chemo and radiation were done I went through a stem cell transplant. I'm still clean after 3 1/2 years. Of course there is constant medication and other maintenance procedures that must be taken. Obviously success will depend on how far spread tumors are in the bones. I they're small enough, and not rampant the radiation will take care of them If it's the cancer cells showing up in the bone marrow his chances are very good. Oh, and Neil. If you've not heard Morning Sky you just have to find it. I only have it on an old cassette. If you can't find it and want to hear it, pm me and I'll arrange a listen.

BOOKUMDANO Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I only liked his first album...the green one nobody ever talks about. Side one was outstanding. Especially "To the Morning" and "Stars". "To The Morning" is one of the prettiest songs and melodies I've ever heard. With a wonderful,small, dry string section. But you have to hear it directly off the first album. Not the very strangely re-done cd that came out years later. Dan did a very strange remix, reverb, and overdub lobotomy for the cd release and I just can't imagine why. Ah, but "To the Morning" on his first vinyl album...beautiful. I first heard it on Kshe radio at dawn on a beach in Miami many years ago so the atmosphere probably added a lot to my experience of hearing that song for the first time. It's still one of my favorite recordings of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT156 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Sad News. I'm older than Dan, so it gives me a sense of my own mortality. Usually when cancer spreads, that's not a good sign. I hope current treament methods are more successful than what they were in the past. In addition to "Morning Sky", which I love, I also enjoyed "Part of the Plan", as well as "Longer". His music was appropriate for the time period it was recorded, even though some folks in previous posts said it wasn't their cup of tea. Different strokes. Say a prayer for Dan, musical taste not withstanding. Mike T.
