Location: Fayetteville, NC | Thanks for posting that link Cliff. I had just bumped over there yesterday for update news. Lets all keep Dan in our Payers for his continued recovery. If he never records another song,or never appears live on another stage, the gift of music he has left to us will be here forever. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I didn't know he had cancer. He is one of my favorites. I was wondering what happened to him the other day when I downloaded the "Longer" tab. I tried to learn it by ear many years ago, but didn't realize until a few years ago that he used drop D tuning.
Saw him in concert many years ago, just by himself with guitars and piano, as he said "as the songs were written, before they add all those violins and stuff." He was great.
Martin got a great ad off his website, too. |

Location: Knoxville, TN | All the best to Dan, I have more than several Fogelberg albums.
I saw him at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville back in the 80's. He was on a solo tour then. I remember being disappointed that he didn't have a backup band with him, just a few guitars and a piano. Good show nonetheless. |

Cliff,
I'm a Fogelberg Fan Too. I've always loved the variety of styles in his songwriting. His Acoustic stuff really Rocks.
Here's the announcement from danfogelberg.com
DanFogelberg.com regrets to announce the cancellation of the Fall 2004 Solo Acoustic Tour. Dan has been recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and has entered treatment. He apologizes for any inconvenience the cancellation of the concerts may cause his fans. Dan is confident he will be able to fight this illness. Your prayers, good wishes and positive thoughts will be very much appreciated. Well, I hate to see anyone get that sick, but if he's really cancelling last year's tour, he may have bumped his head as well. I have to admit, I get Dan mixed up with the guy who used to beat up Darryl Hannah (Jackson Browne?). I'll have to pick up an album. Hopefully he beats this thing and gets back out soon.
edit: My bad, I didn't realize this thread was just brought back after a year's hiatus! I hope Dan is doing better than last year! |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | Click the link Cliff put in above....but if you can't wait....Dan has beaten cancer for now. I was just there a few days ago to check the latest myself. Looks like he may not be taking up where he left off musically, though. I would bet he wants some time to smell the roses.....

| I'm doing better and better. You need to get your address to Bongo Boy - there is a little something in the mail for you, coming via Virginia. (But nowhere near as nice as what's coming in the mail to me from Virginia - see other thread.). |
