Blog #340-Dan Fogelberg

February 10, 2020

I have done blogs on Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weisberg before but I want to revisit these musicians because of some photos I found recently.

Also, because I am still surprised that Dan Fogelberg is not in the Hall of Fame.  Dan needs to be in there for many reasons.

These photos are from two different tours that Dan did. In January 1976 Dan Fogelberg came to Milwaukee.  He was the leader of the band as it is famously said and had a pedal steel guitar player, a drummer and three other guitar players.

It was a wonderful night of his classic music and yet he can really rock it!! One minute he would be just sitting on a stool alone and then he'd be with his band sitting on stools with acoustic guitars, the pedal steel guitar and a drummer.

A little break and the electric guitars came out and it became a rock show!

Then in December 1977 he toured with Tim Weisberg, a very talented flute player among other instruments. Just the two of them were playing.  We all sat on the floor and watched in amazement! I don't think my knees could do that anymore!!

Dan and Tim were best friends and you could tell by how much fun they were having. I sold Tim Weisberg my photos of him and Dan a few years back for his website and Facebook page so check those out. Tim Weisberg is still in California playing a bit which is great.

Also check out the Facebook page titled "Induct Dan Fogelberg in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame".  Some people are trying hard to get Dan in to the Hall of Fame.  He was such a very talented musician.  Dan passed way too early of cancer at age 56 in 2007.

Enjoy the photos.

Thanks,
