It's a sign that you're getting old when the people that defined your generation begin leaving the scene. I woke this morning to the news of the passing of Dan Fogelberg, and a real sadness came over me...similar to the feeling on hearing of the death of John Denver some years ago. Fogelberg was, and still is, one of my favorites, a staple of the REAL "soft rock" of the 70's and early 80's. Who, coming of age in those years, could forget "Longer" (which I sang at two weddings), "The Leader of the Band", "Same Auld Lang Syne", or "Run for the Roses"?
Fogelberg died of prostate cancer and was 56, the same age as The Papa. Oh my, how the years have flown....
