Dan Fogelberg passed away yesterday.

He is one of my favorite singers/songwriters and many of his songs have touch me.

RIP - Dan - You will be missed very much.

We will miss your music.

I heard this the other day, but now after reading the memorial thread title, the song is stuck in my head. :o

At least it is a good song, there are way worse songs to have stuck in your head.
I always liked his voice and his music, his memory will live on.

But his blood runs through my instrument,
And his song is in my soul. (http://http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/dan+fogelberg/leader+of+the+band_20035787.html)

Especially this time of year "Same Old Lang Syne" is one of my favorites.
RIP Dan
