Dan Fogelberg died over the weekend from prostate cancer. He was only 56. I was shocked to hear the news. He was such a big part of my 20's and 30's. A bigger part that I realized based on the CD that my daughter gave me a couple of Christmases ago - Twin Sons of Different Mothers - Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weisberg. She remembered it blaring through the house in 1978, when she was just 8 years old. And still remembered it enough to buy it for me 25 or more years later.

I saw him many times in concert at Wolf Trap, the wonderful outdoor ampitheater outside of Washington, DC. He seemed like a really decent guy. How sad that he was diagnosed in his early 50's with advanced prostate cancer. Make sure all the men in your life get tested.

Here's to you, Dan Fogelberg.
