Memories of Dan Fogelberg

Dan the Man

As a male teenager in high school being a fan of "Dan the Man" wasn't the most popular thing among my peers, but there were tons of closet fans out there. I first saw Dan in concert around 1978 (Netherlands tour,I think) in Phoenix. I really didn't know much about him. It was indoor coliseum concert and just him. I was completely blown away at his talent. I can still see him performing "Sketches" from that show. I saw him once again at an outdoor venue a few years later with a dozen or so friends that became fans over the years. There will always be certain songs that will bring back tons of emotion, memories of good times and bad. For me Dan's music holds a treasure of memories that are relived each time I play his music. God Bless him!

I have many memories of Dan. His song "Stars" has been my all time favorite song since I was 15 (1973)! Having seen him in concert in my teens in Boston, as a bashful young woman trying to navigate growing up and plunking away on my guitar learning the songs from "Home Free" and "Souvenirs", my-not yet-husband falling in love with me while slow dancing in a dark living room lit by the light of a snowy winter's evening to "Same Old Lang Sein" in 1982.... Today, my children know Dan through me. He is terribly missed and my heart goes out to his wife, family and friends, but he left us with the treasure of his legacy.

Missing You

Laura Oct 20, 2009

I got to see Dan for the first time when he was doing his Greetings From The West tour and even though it rained and we had thunder and lightning, I'll never forget his presence. His music got me through some of the most trying times in my life and I still smile when I hear it.

I am a hairy arsed lorry driver, a real mans man and I cry so often over Dan dying. He moved me with his amazing lyrics, beautiful melodies and exquisite guitar work..........Imiss you daily Dan and I am not ashamed to say I cry when I listen to your voice................

Off in the NetherLands, I hear the sound...

A humble and gracious man whose music carried the souls of so many to a beautiful place. A master musician and poet, we thank you for the music, Dan.
Peace always.

It's like losing family. There has always been a connection, a bond and as many others i knew what Dan was saying even from the shores of the UK.
I worked in record shops for 15 years and like John Cusack with his customers in "High Fidelity", I became a crusader for the amazing music of Dan Fogelberg, JIm Croce, John Denver and Harry Chapin. I am proud to have made a number of converts over the years. Sadly all of these guys have now gone. I don't even need the music anymore, Every time i see the ocean i hear "the reach". and every time it snows.......Tu es dan ma coeur et dans ma téte .

I remember listening to his music while driving to Florida, NOLA, California, Maine, etc. from my home in NH. I still play his music (now on CDs). And there is still a hole in my heart. I miss him so much.
My prayers go out to him, his wife, family, and loved ones. May peace and comfort be with you all.

Discovered Dan's music in 74 with Souvenirs, then a friend had me listen to Home Free which was amazing in other ways. He has been my favorite singer-songwriter ever since. Learned all his songs, lived, loved, cried to his songs. As Jackson Browne put it, Dan was the most emotional artist coming out of the 70's and throughout his career. He always seemed to wear his heart on his sleeve, and maybe that's what drew me to him musically and emotionally. I still can't get over the fact that he's not with us...but he is with us...always.
