We are big Fogelberg fans at our house, and it is sad to lose someone so talented so young.Cowtown Pattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384649567351202679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163970.post-20342758434766290022007-12-19T07:23:00.000-06:002007-12-19T07:23:00.000-06:00Erm... long sort of implies lengthy, doesn't it? O...Erm... <I>long</I> sort of implies <I>lengthy</I>, doesn't it? Okay, I admit I'm picking grammatical nits to distract me from the sinking sense I get from your post that I've missed something bad in yesterday's news.<BR/><BR/>Some of my favorites: "As The Raven Flies", "There's A Place In The World For A Gambler", "Old Tennessee", "Captured Angel", "The Last Nail", "Scarecrow's Dream", "Loose Ends" (and pretty much all of the <I>Nether Lands</I> album).<BR/><BR/>In 1981, I had the opportunity to see Fogelberg perform in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He was just getting over a cold, and it was his birthday. He did a two-hour show, as I recall – half with Russ Kunkel and the rest of the band, and the rest by himself, at the piano. That night's rendition of "There's A Place In The World For A Gambler", for which he recruited the audience to fill in for Glenn Frye and the usual suspects as his backing vocalists, was incredibly stirring and something I'll always remember.Foohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326549003460148154noreply@blogger.com
