I hope she gets as much as she gives. I almost hang here holding my breath waiting for her to check in. Loved the new addition story and I am sure it brought her a lot of joy knowing all Dan went through was not for nothing. Oh the snippet of the song is wonderful!! Brought tears to my eyes and I can not wait till Aug. I will be a hard CD to get through but at the same time a joy that we have something new. It was classic Dan!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: newsletter of Father's Day Author: mountainbird [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06/22/09 9:19am A wonderful snippet indeed, Nancy. As a fan posted not so long ago somewhere in DanLand, "Well, every time I think I'm past the tears...." And from another, "And I have reached for you often--when only your voice would do to soothe me." What hearing him doesn't do to me. I'm aware of the cavernous void every day but bitter-sweet treasures like this just blindside me. I had to stop the clip because I couldn't see to type. I've wanted to share a sweet story that happened last weekend. I attended a party given by a new colleague to celebrate the several graduates in her large, extended family. I hadn't met any guests previously but I knew about many from her stories. A sister (and an honoree who received an MA in Administration) is a musician of the folkie kind ~ electrified acoustic, reminding me very much of Joni Mitchell. Liz is the reason I put my guitar in my car that afternoon. I suspected she might enjoy seeing it. Her eyes widened when I opened the case. I didn't say a word. I just put it in her hands. She took in every detail and immediately saw that it was a Dan Fogelberg Signature Series Martin. As she tuned, someone asked, "What guitar is that?" Her answer: "The best guitar there is." And then she played "Part of The Plan." People sang and I watched and listened with tears in my eyes. So many knew every word. When she handed it back to me, she said, "There will never be another one like him and I am truly honored. Thank you so much." [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: newsletter of Father's Day Author: nancy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06/22/09 3:58pm I had tears in my eyes as I read your post... I have played Dan's music everyday as I have even before he passed. It just gives me peace! I can't imagine not hearing his music because as you said there will never be another.. That is why I am so drawn to this site and feel this is the only place that "gets it" and really understands the need we have to stay connected..Jean gets it and I thank God for her staying connected and letting us grieve with her..

[> [> [> Subject: Re: newsletter of Father's Day Author: Bianca [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06/22/09 7:02pm I always enjoyed the personal touch Dan put into his music, almost a map of his life all through the years. It seems all Dan's fans feel a kinship to his music. I haven't been able to post since the release date of Dan's final CD was posted. It is a bittersweet feeling, so happy to finally know it's coming, but so sad to know it's the last one. I wish more of his fan's knew of this site and I hope word spreads of the CD release.

[> Subject: Re: newsletter of Father's Day Author: Lin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06/22/09 7:48pm I too listen to Dan every single day!! And its been years--for so long now, no other music quite does it for me. Dan's music just really brings me such peace.I still am just awed by his talents!!! His voice is magical, his lyrics are heartfelt-his melodies are sheer perfection.The music ALWAYS fits the mood of the song perfectly... There truly will never be another Dan...I feel this obsession for anything Dan related-I know you guys know what I am talking about!!! Listening to the clip made me cry--again--DAMN IT--he was taken way, way too soon!!!!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: newsletter of Father's Day Author: mountainbird [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06/23/09 2:09pm Ok, I've just about "worn out" this sample. The more I listen, the more I can hear those beautiful little intricacies that were Dan's style. What a musical genius he was. Please let "Love in Time" be the CD that has "I Need You" on it.
