 Hello Dan,
Glad you are feeling better.
I played "Same Old Lang Syne" like I do every year on new year's. I may not cry at weddings or funerals but that song ...
It always gets me, every time.
Happy New Year to you and yours. ~
John Seguin Dan, you and Jean look terrific! Thank you for the holiday message and right back at you! I've not visited your website since your birthday and as I sit here on New Year's Eve I'm reflecting on the blessings in my life. Your music is definitely on that list. Continued good health and happiness to you both! ~ The Pylant Family, Newnan, Georgia. Hi Dan, thank you for the prose and poetry that is your music. It is
encouraging to know that you are now feeling better. My favorite song
is "Leader of the Band" which indicates your love and respect for your
father as I do mine. From some of your pictures I sense a reverence for
Native people and nature. So here's from one Navajo wishing you and Jean
all the best.~ Peggy Dan,
I read about your illness in Parade. I went to Woodruff
and graduated in 1966. I just wanted you to know I
am thinking of you and will include you in my prayers.
I have enjoyed your music since you played in pep
rallies at Woodruff. ~
Linda Dieckmann Dear Dan and Jean,
Best wishes for a Healthy and Blessed New Year! All of us out here were so relieved and
heartened to read your encouraging message on your birthday. You continue to be in my
prayers and remembered during the Divine Liturgy in my church on a regular basis. And
Dan, you continue to be a huge musical inspiration and mentor to me (albeit from a
distance!). I keep wondering when your lyrical and melodic influence on me will begin to
wane, but it never does! In today's pop music landscape dominated by Hip Hop and mechanized rhythms, the songs that stand out continue to be those with beautiful melodies. Your works are truly inspiring in that regard, especially as they are coupled with such deep, heartfelt and enduring lyrics that continue to speak to new generations of listeners. But you probably read a lot of such paeans these days! :-) All this to say, God Bless You Always for the gift of your music! With love and prayers ~ Hunt Sidway, Cincinnati OH Dear Dan,
Wow! You are feeling a LOT of love from all of us!
What a great time of year to listen to, and remember, with much fondness, "Same Old Lang Syne". Unable to get it off my mind, I got out my collection of
your vinyl LPs, turned on the turntable, and gave it a listen, tears in my
eyes. Your songs take me right back to when I was 18...when we were all so much
younger then. Anyway, I've been a big fan of yours for these many years, and
continue to be so. My prayers are with you. So glad to hear of your
improvement. I hope, by the grace of God, that I will someday get my miracle of
getting my music out there. All good wishes to you and Jean and your family. Most
Sincerely ~ Susan Coleman Small, singer, composer, pianist, and
kindergarten/music teacher, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma I have been a loyal fan since the early 1970's. I have the great pleasure of seeing Dan in concert many times. When I learned he had prostate cancer I started to pray for him in my daily prayers for my family. I have always wanted you to know just how much your music has meant to me. It has gotten me through the darkest of days. I know that miracles exist and that prayer works. Your music is always playing in my head and prayers for you have always been in my heart. Best wishes for a healthy and happy New Year with much to celebrate!! Dan, I was a student at Pekin High School from 1961-65 when your father was the
Leader of
the Band, so I have a special appreciation for and connection with your family's musical
legacy. I still remember dancing to "Georgia" at high school dances. What an incredible
memory. I too live in Colorado, and have since 1970. I wish you all the best, and hope
and pray for your complete recovery.~
Sue Sundstrom Happy New Year Dan and Jean! As I'm typing this, "Same Old Lang Syne"
is playing over my stereo. Perfect timing...perfect music...and a
perfect way to end this year and start the new year on a positive note.
Knowing that you are doing well in your recovery is such a relief! What
a great cause for celebration! I wish you both continued good health
and happiness over the next year and for many years to come. Best
wishes ~ Pam in Louisiana Dear Dan and Jean, May the New Year bring you both promise, strength, and love. First to Jean, I'm sure your love is truly a beacon in the darkness for Dan and a first light of dawn. Dan, you have been a stalwart friend for many years. You have brought words to the echoes in my heart. You have made me feel I am not alone in times of heartbreak, joy, confusion, and elation. You were there for my mistakes and for my triumphs. For what it is worth, please know, I am here for you now. My prayers are with you and Jean, and my thanks that cannot begin to be spoken for words pale in meaning. May you both be blessed ~
Jonathan Kraft, Villa Park, IL My thoughts & prayers are with you both, from a friend in Ireland. ~ Mary O'Donnell You two are gorgeous together!! What a beautiful couple!! Happy New Year to
you both. So happy that you are better, Dan. So glad that I spent time on
my knees praying...it feels as though I've done something to thank you for all
of the beautiful music that you shared with me and with the world! Love,
Peace and Light Always! ~
Carole Dowhan, Hunterdon County, NJ Happy New Year Dan and I will forever continue to listen to your
music "Ever On" ~ Susan, Bonanza, OR Mr. Fogelberg...
Like so many, your words and music touch the deepest parts of my soul. I have been blessed to see you in concert many times and privileged to actually meet you after one of your concerts in New Orleans, more years ago than either I or you probably care to remember! I look forward to that opportunity again.....you remain in my prayers and may God give you the same peace that you bestow in your music as you continue to heal.
All my love ~
Cheryl Mize,
Jackson, Mississippi It's good to hear things are going well. Shirley and I have life long fans from
way back. Your song "Longer" was played at our wedding and will forever hold a special
place in our hearts. Best wishes and continued good health. ~ Mike and Shirley Dear Dan, I have been a fan of your since the 70's, 80's, 90's and forever.You
and your music were such a part of my life. In my twenties, thirties and
forties (46 now) you were there through the good times and bad times. You
just seemed to make whatever the situation easier to deal with. When I was
much younger and haven't had all of the knowledge and wisdom that I do now.
It would be Panama Red and you, and I would close my eyes and dream that I
was high!!! (no pun intended) In the mountains over looking a beautiful
valley in a cabin, with a crackling fire in the fireplace and you singing to
me. Hey, don't laugh, it was my dream!! And what a dream that was. Anyway,
I thank you for that. I saw the clip in the Parade Magazine and was
totally taken back. The only time that I could finally get a letter to you,
and the circumstances are not what I would have wanted ( I'm sure you feel
the same way) .I wish you and Jean all the best and I know everything will
be just fine. And I look forward to hearing more good news to come. ~ Maggie
- North Carolina. DF,
My best wishes for you and your wife. I wish you well to enjoy the road ahead.
Since the early 1960's, I found out that when times of struggle appeared daunting, I would trek through the woods, across the creek to my favorite majestic oak tree. I'd nestle down at the base and listen to the chick-a-dees and warblers. Such a sense of peace and freedom from all outside forces. My belief of what heaven on earth really is!
If you have a chance, find that big ol' oak and those song birds. They are what we are searching for. Enjoy!
Fondly ~
LeeAnn Dan and family:
Glad to hear you are fighting the good fight! It's like anything else in life, we wake up each day with absolutely no guarantee of success or failure, no expectation of living one more day or 100 years, and no control over anything. Our only choice is how we live our lives, and the choices we make!
I have been listening to your songs since early 1970's when I was in Colorado and dating a girl from Tennessee. She encouraged me to see you play at Red Rocks, a beautiful place by itself, but what a place to hear you for first time! I am very active with American Cancer Society, have been Chairperson for our Waterbury CT Relay for life for many years, and we have gone from raising $35,000 first year, to now around $250-300,000 / yr. More important than the money (to me), we have every school agressively competing and raising money, coming to the Relay.
We work real hard to focus our Relay on Survivorship and I take great pride and cherish each year the small but important ways we touch and impact people's lives!!!!
It is so important for people to know they are not alone, whether a patient, a caregiver, or family member.
I thank you for sharing your experience on your website, your experiences can help others find courage to seek treatment. I will take your advice, as I am now 54, and go for my PSA test again.
God Bless! ~
Ray Komorowski Dan, I hope you are feeling better. My brother-in-law, Robert Edwards, in Chicago has some great pictures of you guys way back in the early days. He turned me on to a lot of your music when I was at the University of Illinois-Champaign. We always play a variety of your stuff when Bob, Yola, my sister, get together. Again, we hope you are
doing well and I can't wait until you come back to St. Louis.~ Chris. Dan, I am a Pastor of a small church in Lula, Georgia. I have been praying for you since 1985. I ask that God heal you and that you would give Him the glory. You are my favorite songwrtter. I love your Christmas Songs and I pray that you are a believer in Jesus Christ. My prayers are with you and if I can ever do anything for you, let me know. In Christ ~
Michael Smith Thanks for all your wonderful music through the years. I've listened to your music since
college and it really influenced what I do with music nowadays. Glad to hear you're doing
better with the Prostate Cancer. And I'm glad you put a little sermon on your news page
about guys getting a regular PSA. I got my first one two years ago at age 50, the numbers
were high, and they took it out. Early detection is the key, guys. Thanks for being an
advocate and providing links to American Cancer Society and the PC Foundation. the LiveStrong Foundation is another good resource. ~
Paul Colvin, Portland, OR Dear Dan,
So happy to hear that you are doing well - keep up the fight.
My kids grew up on your music - it is a part of our lives. I will be visiting my daughter in Denver in a few weeks. We will take our usual trek up to Nederland and have chili in the cafe at the table beneath your painting.
Take care, best to you and yours for the New Year. ~
Donald Goodstein,
Miami Beach, Fl I saw your Sound Stage Concert on PBS last night and when telling my friend
how good it was that you were still touring she informed me of your cancer. I
wish you and Jean a very healthy 2006 and onward.
Your songs have helped me through many emotionally trying and learning times
in my life. Last night when I heard "Part of the Plan," it brought me back
to myself--a place I haven't been able to find for awhile. When I first heard
that song when I was 15 years old, it helped me to be who I am. I found the
courage to follow my heart to Colorado, a place I know you love as well. Last
night, I realized that this where I need to go back to -- that place and that
place in my heart. After 20 plus years I'd forgotten...
Thanks, Dan!
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Health and happiness to you and
yours. ~
Julie (lost in Albuquerque) I've been wondering how you were doing since first hearing the news of your diagnosis. I checked the website this week, and was happy to hear such encouraging news. May you continue to do so well.
I posted a comment on this site when I first heard of your illness. At that time, I said your music provided the soundtrack for my life. Just how long that has been true was underscored today while I was listening to the "Greetings from the West" CD in my car and heard you tell an audience that you had not sung "There's a Place in the World for a Gambler" for 10 years. I checked the copyright on the CD and noted it was 1991. I've heard you sing that song in concert, obviously a long time ago. Most recently, I saw you at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford, Connecticut, maybe three, four years ago. You were as good as I remember from the concerts I attended in the 70's and 80's.
In closing, you and your wife remain in my thoughts and prayers. God bless. ~
J. Ainsworth,
Guilford, CT Dear Dan,
My wife and I fell in love in Peoria thirty years ago to the music and lyrics you wrote,
especially "Wysteria". Your work has always held great meaning for us. Be strong and
fight through this.
All the best. ~
Hal Kearney,
St. Joseph, Michigan Was sitting at my computer today and found out my brother in law, an
appeals
judge in Baton Rouge La, was diagnosed with prostate problems-pre cancerous.
Went to your website and explored it quite a bit. I have always been a fan,
but never purchased any of the cds. Well, today I got your Greatest Hits and was just stunned as to how good the mix and sounds are. I guess I was
too much of a Southern Rocker. I cannot play a lick, but your music inspires me, as did your pleas
for testing.
A sincere thank you for
your music and inspiration.
This is such a beautiful music and I was listening to "Leader of the Band" and it just kicked in some memories that are just so real and solid. ~
Bill Skains I just got done watching a video of one of your concerts. It was terrific! I too was diagnosed with cancer last March and have completed my treatments. It's so good to be done. Hopefully everything will turn out well. May God bless you. ~ Jan Dan & Jean,
Happy Holidays! What terrific news to hear of your remission! Your music is the soundtrack for the best and most meaningful times of my life. Thank you for every note. Be well! ~ Patti, Chicago Dear Dan, My wife and I are so relieved of the news of your success in treating your prostate cancer. We have been praying for you that you would be successful in beating this
terrible disease and we will continue to pray for strength and encouragement for, your wife and family. Your music has had such a huge impact on our lives. The first date my wife and I had was to your concert at what was then known as Irvine Meadows in Orange County CA and your music was part of our wedding ceremony. I used to escape the rat race in the Los Angeles area to our second home in Running Springs near Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino mountains and looked forward to putting on your music (vinyl at the time) High Country Snows, Windows and Walls, Greatest Hits etc. and listen to them over and over, your music was a therapeutic as the mountains and pines in renewing and refreshing my soul. When I put on your "The First Christmas Morning" CD as we were decorating our tree this year my 8 year old son said "Oh that is my favorite Christmas song" referring to the song "At Christmas Time". Christmas would not be the same at the Engeln household without your Christmas CD, thank you for such a wonderful work. In my Christmas stocking my wife put your Portrait CD collection and I enjoyed reading the history about your music career and life, needless to say I am enjoying listening to the Cd's also. Thank you for the many ways you have touched our lives and even now our boys' lives as they are beginning to appreciate what a special and talented artist you are. May God richly bless you ~ Paul, Michelle, Joshua and Nicholas Engeln Dearest Dan & Jean - Thank you so much for the holiday wishes and for sharing your beautiful photo! The sparkle in your eyes and the smiles on your faces best express the sentiment ... Happy New Year! With much love always ~ June / Norwalk, CT Dear Dan and Jean,
Like so many others, I am grateful for your music and the encouragement
it has given me over the years. I was saddened to hear of the
challenges you face from the cancer but encouraged that the treatment is
going well. I do pray for your health and trust this year will be your
best ever.
Warmly ~
Joe Brand Dan,
I wish you the best.
I just read that things appear to be improving and that makes me smile.
Thanks for your wonderful music, particularly the lyrics.
My prayers are with you. ~
Ross I just encountered your website yesterday when my youngest daughter (age 19) was searching for the lyrics to "Same Old Lang Syne", getting the yearly holiday boost in airplay. I had spelled your name for her and was surprised to see the result. I am sorry to hear of the illness and will ask God's blessings for recovery. I have shamefully lost touch with how much your music affected me - so much so that I even forgot I owned "Phoenix" as well as "Nether Lands" as a young married man in the 70's. With the changing technology I stopped listening years ago to the LP's I owned and have been slowly replacing the old albums with CDs. I am excited to see the "Portrait" box set available and am heading to Amazon right now to obtain a copy. I'd like to say that your songs always reached my heart, and the messages in them related to the experiences I had as a contemporary of the time you grew up in. I always shed a tear when "Leader of the Band" plays on the radio and reminds me of my
own father's passing. I also dreamed of being a musician, but sadly didn't possess the talent or determination you had. Best wishes to you, Dan, and your wife, and thank you for the beautiful lifetime of music. Sincerely ~ Dave Krajcik I'm so glad to hear Dan Fogelberg's recovery and progress. I love his music and hope to
hear new music from him in the coming year. Best wishes in the new year ~ Sergio
Chavarro- Colombia, South America Dan and Jean Fogelberg,
I would like to wish the both of you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, joyful
and blessed new year.
Dan, I would also like to express my appreciation to you for the cd The First Christmas
Morning. This cd has helped me to regain the Christmas spirit. The songs are
absolutely beautiful and I listen to the instrumentals year round. I also really like
the emphasis of the songs on the Christ child himself and his mother Mary.
Thanks also for all your other works. You are my favorite artist and I wish you health
and a return to the studio if it is God's will for you. God bless you. ~
Michael Marascalco God Bless you! What good news to hear of the remission of your cancer. I am so very glad to hear that, but at the same time sad to know you won't be doing any concerts or new recordings. God Bless you and Jean as you enjoy your life. Dan,
just a note to let you know that I wish for the the best that life can give. I have been a fan for "ages" and can only wish these words could convey what your music has meant in my life. I have played "Leader of the Band" on piano, while my family sang for my father who is dying of copd. He cried, we cried..it was great. I could go on and on and probably bore you but know that your music has transcended commercialism and will stand the test of time. Thank you. ~ Karen Dear Dan-not so very long ago, in the great scheme of things--your music was a very dear and special part of my life. It literally was the "glue" that held my sanity together at times and many were the nights when I sat alone on the floor and lost myself in your lyrics and melodies to shut out the empty world around me. Pretty pathetic huh? But I don't say that to take anything away from you--I just want you to know that as much as your music meant to me--and believe me when I tell you that at one time in my life, it seemed like all I had--God has set me free from the sadness and self-torture that I allowed my life to become, and offered me so much more grace and mercy through His Son, Jesus Christ. His payment for sin on the cross and the promise and hope of His resurrection is the "glue" now for me- a much more certain stronghold. But I want to thank you for your music and I recommend Christ to you now--he can help you face any dark days that may come as a result of your illness, but he offers even more as he grants us peace with God. Bless you and your family at this season, and I pray God offers you hope in your heart as the New Year unfolds. Sincerely ~ a true fan. Hi Dan,
I was fortunate enough to catch your acoustic show at Baltimore's Mechanic Theatre in 2003, and a more memorable and entertaining show I have never
enjoyed.
Thank you for the music. Your Christmas cd is a staple in our home during
the holidays.
I'd just like to say, I have lost my mother to brain cancer at the age of
53, and I saw the toll the treatment took on her body as well as her
spirit....
all of which proved futile in the end. If they'd only caught it sooner.Glad to hear your feeling better. Stay off the stage and out of the studio as long as you need to beat this horrid desease. We'll be waiting when you're ready. Write a song about it and may it be a happy tune. ~ Robert Ahrens, Baltimore, Maryland Dear Ones,
Best wishes to you from another Daniel for the coming new year!
Best wishes, Dan, for a speedy recovery!
Maybe you are writing new songs, a book of poetry, a novel, your life story? Let us know.
A poet from Brittany ~ DAN AR WERN. The Holiday Season always seems to bring everyone's emotions to a height. I love
the season, even though I live in the Valley of the Sun, thoughts of snow
covered evergreens, and the San Juans always crowd my brain. I lived in Durango
for a short time, and know that that part of the southwest is most majestic.
I wish you and Jean a wonderful New Year. It sounds like all of our prayers and good thoughts are reaching the right ears.
I cannot imagine my life without your music and poetry. My friends know the only music I ever put on to listen to is yours, and that I most often cry or feel extreme exaltation while listening.
God bless you and Jean....I am so thankful to the universe for blessing you with Jean, and Us with you, your music and your love of this planet. Hope you someday will record again. I know you are overwhelmed but I just have a feeling that you have a lot more to teach us in song. Thank you for the Lecture!!! Unfortunately not everyone listens. A dear friend is going through his personal trial with PCa now. I have been trying to convince my husband that he needs to be proactive... perhaps your story will help. With most sincere thanks, always a friend. ~
Debbie "Love when you can, cry when you have to, be who you must, it's a part of the plan".... Dear Dan- I married in 1974, your music blessed us both with peace and contentment for the 2 years we spent together. We divorced in 1976, remaining friends, but hurting so much. Then, I moved on to live in New York, and your music got me through so much. Your first albums were so inspirational, your haunting lyrics, so much that seemed as though it was written for me and the times I was passing through. "Dancing Shoes", "Wysteria", so many, so wonderful, so beautiful. From the mind of a magic man, a muse, you are a man who has shaped me, and I am sure so many others. In 1981 I decided to change my whole life, go and find who I was, learn and teach SCUBA all over the world, "Part of the Plan" was my anthem, my support through the hard times of leaving a family business, family, and the life I grown so comfortable with.
I have all your albums, and have made so many mixes that I have shared with those who mean so much to me. When I heard of your illness, it brought tears to my eyes, (and I am a grown man!). I listen to your music to this day, and every time I hear the early albums, and the mystical creations you allowed us to share, I thank goodness that you were put on this earth in the times that I was here to enjoy all you created. "Well aware of the consequences should the dream fall through", I tried something new, and have continued to do so my whole life.At 55 now, I only wanted to express my gratitude, and love to you for all you have given me for the past 30 years, and all you will continue to give to me, and all that come after us, who will be able to share in the wonder and beauty that only you could put into words. May God, and the Universe, bless you, and support you through these hard times, and may you again be "born on the first warm winds" again, to give us more of the music and words that have guided, and inspired me for so many years. Best always to you, Dan, and.... the knowledge gained, is worth the price of the pain.... Warmest regards ~ Rob Ross- Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Jean and Dan,
Thinking of you both and wishing you a very happy and blessed Christmas and holiday season. Like for so many others, your Christmas CD is our favorite and plays throughout the Christmas season.
Thank you for your Christmas greeting. What a nice surprise to hear from you. The two of you make a beautiful couple and the love and happiness that you share radiates from you. How wonderful that you have been blessed with each other; there is no greater gift than love!! We continue our prayers for God's healing hand to rest upon you. Also, please accept our sympathy for the loss of your friend and fellow musician, Michael Botts. Our thoughts are with his family as well.
Much love and continued healing to you in the New Year and always. "Merry Christmas" to all who hold you dear. ~
Lisa and John Andursky, Connellsville PA Dan,
Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow! Thanking Him for...*your much-improved health this Christmas *the lovely photo of you and Jean, with such warm greetings for we fans *"The First Christmas Morning" CD *your mother (and late father) for giving you wonderful musical genes :-) *sharing your gift of music for over 30 years Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Truly, all of your songs have meant so much to me and my life has been enriched because of them.

Thank you for the beautiful photo of Dan and Jean. I pray that he is as healthy as he looks. What a nice-looking couple!
The best to both of you and to your families. ~ Lettie Fisher, Oklahoma
Happy Holidays DF and JF - Wishing you both much happiness and joy through this holiday season. Peace
and God Bless you both. Take Care. Peace. ~ William, Northern Vermont May the Mother Goddess shine her light of healing on you, from the heart of one
songwriter to another. Blessings to you and your beautiful wife, now and in the year to come. ~ Lenora and Dan Skillen, California What a thrill to see the beautiful picture of Dan and Jean looking so
healthy and happy. Such a gorgeous couple. That's the perfect Christmas gift.
Thank you Dan and Jean. ~
Carol Merry Christmas Dan! My husband and I listened to your Christmas CD
this morning when opening presents. Your music continues to be one of
the greatest gifts in my life. My husband and I have been listening to
you since we got together in 1972- it has enhanced our relationship
throughout those 30+ years as it's given us something beautiful to share
and experience together. I thank you for that. How wonderful you're
managing your health challenges- surely the love that is felt for you
all over the world is a powerful ally. My best wishes to you and your
family for a wonderful holiday season and for the coming new year. ~
Lyn, Kansas City I have been meaning to write to Dan Fogelberg for quite a while, being a
fan since I'm 17 (32 years ago, amazingly enough). Dan Fogelberg's music
has taken me through the toughest and most wondrous of times, and I
always find I fall back to his songs when I look for something to
express what I'm feeling. This Christmas I didn't have my daughter due
to a divorce, and she was far away with her father. I listened to the "Same Old Lang Syne" on the radio, and felt at peace.
Thank you, Dan Fogelberg, for bringing so much excellent music to my
life. I'd also like to say that I am very happy to hear of the improvement
and
progress you have experienced, and I wish you and your family
great health, love and happiness. ~
Sharon Merry Christmas! I have visited your site often since I first heard of your
illness earlier this year and have read many of the posted letters. I have
hesitated to add mine, wondering what I could possibly say that hasn't been
said by so many others, and more eloquently I'm sure. However, after visiting
today and seeing the beautiful picture of you and Jean together, I am
compelled to write. Like so many of your well-wishers, I have followed your music
faithfully since the early '70's when I was just a teenager, and, as is often
the case when you are so young, your music was ( and is) an important part of
my life. Funny how music touches you differently and lastingly when you are
young. I vividly remember seeing you play in Central Park; must have been
'75 or '76. Your music continues to bring me happiness and memories every
time I play one of your CD's (or albums if I'm feeling particularly nostalgic
and want to hear the scratches too!), or one of your songs comes on the radio.
I was very happy to read your message letting us know of your progress and
visit often in hopes of reading an update. I wish you and Jean love,
happiness, and strength in 2006 and beyond. Thank you for your beautiful legacy of
music. ~
Karen,
Fort Lauderdale, FL Dear Dan,
I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season and a brighter future
in the coming year. Your music has been a big part of my life and has meant so
much to me in the past 2 years since my divorce. It was tough to process the
pain I felt at my daughter being molested by her own father and the fact she
was too scared to tell me until the age of 23. But your music helped me ease
some of the pain and anger I felt. Again, best wishes and hoping for a
recovery. ~
Laura Wiltsie Dear Dan, God bless you, your family and may the road to a complete recovery be obtained as quickly as possible. I have grown up listening to your music and even though you are not much older than me, I have measured my life experiences through your songs and their release times. From graduating high school in the mid 1970s, college in Buffalo,New York, work for the NYPD starting in the late 1980s, my getting married in the late 1990s and the birth of my daughter, I have always returned to your music to help explain the many different emotions associated with the journey of life. I, as do many, have every album you have ever released, and your song "To The Morning" remains the favorite of mine. I have seen you in concert from the late 1970 in Buffalo all the way to the early 2000s at Westbury Music Fair and only hope that I can introduce my 7 year old daughter to your music from the concert stage. Again God Bless You, your family and may the coming year be filled with joy,happiness and of course health. ~ Walter Lapinski |
