Very relieved to hear that prayers have been answered in Dan's ongoing recovery.  Funny how 'celebrities' seem so far removed from us 'average Joe's' and then something threatening, scary and real happens to them and they become as vulnerable as the rest of us.  The beauty comes when folks from 'round the globe can empathize, send prayers, good wishes and good karma and thus make the unfortunate event a unifying one.  How blessed you are, Dan, to be a catalyst for all this!  (I am presuming the "why me?" phase is a thing of the past).  I have heard some cancer survivors say it turned out to be a good thing in their lives.  I am hoping you, your wife and your family are able to see the love and respect for you that exists all around the world and how it truly showed itself due to this life-changing diagnosis. 

You are also blessed in that you can express yourself and the feelings of the past two years through words and music.  It is inspiring to read your words (on the website) and so uplifting to see how positive your attitude and outlook is today.  I am sure your candor will inspire health checks for others.  I will continue to pray that you be blessed with good health and continued optimism.  Oh, and if the good Lord is feeling generous, I will pray for a Fogelberg concert in Cleveland in the not-too-distant future! (OK, anywhere within 200 miles!)  God bless, keep the faith and laugh as loud and as much as you can! ~ Kathy O'Brien-Carter

As we all start a new year, I wanted to say that Dan has been on my mind. I'm delighted that treatment has been turning back the disease. I hope this year brings only greater health. A miracle of total healing would be welcome,
indeed. We all want to hear new music again from Dan, but even moreso, we want Dan to be well and enjoy a long life. I have loved Dan's music since I was 14. That's a long time to get pleasure from someone's voice and words and sounds. I wrote a letter in the seventies to give Dan my simple thanks for his great talent and the joy it brings. This is the second letter in 45 years of living that I've sent to a musician...both to Dan. Both to say thanks, this one to say: May
God be merciful and heal you completely and give you new songs to share. Thanks, Dan. Be well. Blessings to you and all your family this and every year. Enjoy our lovely mountains, the sea, your beautiful wife, your instruments, the sun, the wind, and every good thing on the earth. God bless ~ Mirta Ana Naranjo- Schultz

Dear Dan, I am crying as I write this, as I was not aware of your illness, and only looked up to see when I would be able to hear/see you in concert again, and saw the news about your prostate cancer. Now, here I am, a stranger, who is crying for you as if you were an old friend, and believe me, if you knew how much your music has touched my life, that would make perfect sense.  I will pray each night for you and hold you in my heart.  Your poignant writings and music have given me strength and guidance throughout my entire life.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.   

I am just another person in this huge world, will always feel blessed to have been able to have heard and seen you, experiencing your performance live in all of your glory, with your familiar chats with the audience.  I hope that since you are keeping your options open, that you find yourself in the position to come to the stage again.  If you don't, I will remember those times fondly.  I hope you have a beautiful new year, with more and more progress every day. You are so loved, that I am babbling now because I could never begin to tell you.  You are in my prayers.  I appreciate your "sermon", and will let every male I care about to be tested regularly.  You are truly an inspiration. God Bless ~ Mary Ann Teto - Long Island, New York

Mr. Fogelberg, First, my prayer is for your continuing recovery. I have been a fan of your music since the first time
I heard "Captured Angel" in the late '70s and have worn out two copies, LP's no less, of said album, as well as "Innocent Age". Although I have each of your other albums and enjoy each one, these two are my favorites. I've had the privilege of seeing you on stage only twice, but they remain some of my most cherished memories and I want to thank you for making not only me happy, but the millions of people you have touched and will touch for years to come with your music. I'm unable to adequately express how much pleasure you have given my family through your songs and
shows and you may never see this, but I felt I would be remiss in not at least trying to let you know how I felt. I just hope that I will be able, one more time, to hear you sing "The Last Nail","Next Time", "Hard To Say", "Lonely In Love", and all the other great tunes....LIVE. If so, could you possibly throw in "The Reach"? Again, THANK YOU and from my family to yours, may God continue to bless you and your family and we'll be praying for your full recovery. Sincerely ~ Jack Amonett

Dear Dan and Jean, I am so happy to hear that you are both doing so well in this new year.  I've been a fan for many, many years, having found in Dan's music the road map for my own life. When I first heard the news of the illness I felt so very sad, but also eternally grateful for all the music and really fine concert experiences over the last 8 years.  I was a fan from day one....but never had the opportunity to see Dan in concert until '95.  After that I traveled all over the west coast to attend as many concerts as possible.  What a blessing for me and my family to share.  Thank you, thank you Dan!  The music runs deep in my soul and has carried me through all the times of my life.  There is a strength in
the beauty of it that has intertwined in my heart and helped me to be the best I can be.  Again, many thanks. This past summer my beloved husband had a devastating stroke from which he may never recover so I truly understand how hard life has been for you both in the recent past.  We can never imagine that bad things will happen to our loved ones (or ourselves) so when they do happen they either make us stronger or the experience breaks us. In my own life, I chose to let it bring me higher and to trust more in our Creator so that I can take care of my love for as long as he is here with me.  Not knowing how long one has to walk this earth, there is now a bittersweet quality to every second of every minute of every day of every week of every month of every year.  you cannot afford to waste any of that precious time.  I have offered my own small prayers on your behalf.  May you continue to improve in health, Dan.  I hope to hear very soon that you are free of this demon. And for Jean, she must be so strong and loving....one can see it in her
photos....she is a blessing to you, and you to her.  Stay strong, take courage in each other and in the plan of Life and never, ever let go.  Joy is so important in how we approach life and its adversities.  If you can hold the joy of life in your heart, even though you suffer, it will all be worth it in the end. With much love and affection (from a stranger!) ~ Lin Downs, Spanish Springs, Nevada

Just read your health update. Keep up the good work on spreading the news about testing. I had breast cancer 8 years ago and preach about mammograms, but nobody pays attention until it affects them! I have loved your music since the early 80's. You are and will always be my answer when someone asks, "who's your favorite artist?" My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. ~ Sue, San Antonio, Texas

Dearest Dan and Jean: I can't believe I'm  finally connecting to you after all these years! Your music carried me through  nursing school, relationships, my children and my 21 year marriage to my  husband.  "Part of the Plan" blared 
on my way home from work  today...your music is timeless and I will never tire of hearing it. I tell my 3  teenage daughters that you were the Dave Matthews of my era...that helps them  realize where I'm coming from.  Please know
that you  are in  my  thoughts and prayers daily. You MUST have faith and know that everything happens  for a reason. Life is so precious and taken so much for granted. You remain an  inspiration, even as you go through this difficult
time. ~ Ellen DeStefano, Bow,  NH

I haven't been as up to date as I would like, so I apologize for not writing sooner. My mother just informed me of your cancer and, even though you're getting better, I would still like to leave get well wishes for you. Hang in there; stay strong. There are a lot of people out there that love you, and love your talents. I know you're going to make it. Don't let one of the music's greatest stars fade away just yet. You and your wife have so much left to share. With love ~ Erin M.

Dear Dan, God Bless you in this New Year, New Strength, New Hope.  Still love your music as much as ever!!!
Miracles Happen... ~ Sandra Bartkowiak, Blackhawk CO

Dear Dan, I was shocked to hear the news about your prostate cancer in our local paper.  I sincerely hope you have a speedy and full recovery!  My  father was also diagnosed with prostate cancer but had his prostate removed and  his PSA has been "negligible" for ~7 years now.    So I am keenly  aware of your condition and options.  I am already following your  recommendations for check-ups. I have been a fan of your music since the late 70's.  I truly admire  your
ability to write songs, sing the various harmonic tracks, and play so many  instruments - you are a true talent!!  I have also been to every concert  you've held in the Denver area.  Plus, I own and cherish every one of your albums that you've made.  As a piano player myself, I especially love your  use of piano in so many songs.  I have your "Complete Songs Volume 1"  piano book and love playing all your songs (and my wife loves hearing  them).  I think my favorite song of yours is  "To The Morning".  I'm also impressed with the lyrics you use - "slake the thirst" is  still my favorite!  So many songwriters today couldn't use original lyrics  even if record executives MADE them!  I even used your song "Longer" at my  wedding in 1982 (our marriage still going strong).  Please continue writing  and recording. God Bless you and yours. ~ David Gibbs, Westminster, CO

Dan- It truly is wonderful news that you are now in control of your cancer. As a male over 50, it really has made me aware of the need to get tested every year, and I am making an appointment as soon as I get finished with this epistle.
My wife, Ruth, and I watched the PBS Soundstage concert on New Year's eve, and it was a great reminder of when we saw you at The Forum in Harrisburg, Pa. on the Full Circle tour. What an amazing concert they both were...although I think your voice was a bit more clear at Harrisburg..but that may have been because I was there! I have been going to your shows for about 30 years now. The first was in about 1975, when you opened up for the Eagles at Hershey Arena, and I was also lucky enough to see the Twin Sons concert at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pa. and I remember the final song when you let the audience sing. I mustered up my best voice and harmonized like I was up on stage with you...and that will always live on in my fondest memories.  Anyway, our wishes go out to you for the best and safest year, and many more to come.~ Don Fatzinger, Reinholds, Pa.

Dan Fogelberg is one entertainer that truly touches my heart when I hear his music.  His music was an important part of my life in my high school and college years.  My dream would be to hear him in concert.  My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family.  Prayer can and will make a big difference in your full recovery.  My God richly bless the Fogelberg family.  I look forward to your return to the road...and hopefully a stop here in Pensacola, Florida or Mobile, Alabama! ~ Dustin Godwin, Flomaton, AL

I was thrilled to see the news update on Dan's website, dated August 13th.  Seems to me, that is Dan's birthday.  How appropriate that he provide us with such positive news on that date.  After reading the feedback from others, it is clear the Dan's following is strong and represents all ages, backgrounds and walks of life.  His music became an integral part of my life in '82 while I was a freshman at Indiana University.  I'm much older now, but each time I hear any song from Innocent Age, or the song "Part of the Plan", my youth returns.  My husband and I danced the first dance at our wedding to "Longer."   Last summer, we had a cancer scare of our own.  Once we were clear of the immediate threat, we took a vacation to Maine, where we rested and recharged.  We sailed, kayaked, and hiked at Acadia National Park.  When I think back, it was both the best and worst time in our life; and Dan's music was with us throughout.  
Would really like to know we will see Dan again in concert.  Will keep a watch on his site and look for additional positive news of his music and life.

I am so happy to hear your treatments and progress are going so well. My father was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer in 1983. Treatments and options were very limited back then. He lived a wonderful and full seventeen years with the treatments that were available to him. They have made great strides in Prostate Cancer research and treatment. I wholeheartedly applaud your "Sermon" to men regarding proper and timely testing. You are an inspiration to all men, and a lifesaver to their wives and daughters! May 2006 bring you continued health and happiness and maybe a little more music to those of us who love your voice and your songs. ~ Sukey

Hello Dan, I have just reconnected with your music.  I recently found out about your illness.  I know that there are many like myself who found your work to be a soundtrack to their lives.  I have been listening to you since the early
seventies with Home Free and Souvenirs.  It has been a pleasure to introduce my two daughters to your music - and they have loved it as I have. I hope that you are doing well.  Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us.  Warm Regards ~ Don Hornsby

Dear Dan, I love to listen to your music and am glad to hear your illness has slowed. You made some beautiful music that will continue to have meaning for future generations of music lovers. ~ Carol Goldring , Havertown PA

Dan: I am incredibly happy and relieved to hear that you are recovering your health. Listening today to The Innocent Age, the songs were all the more poignant as I had recently heard of your illness. You and your music have been dear to me since I first heard "Part of the Plan" in the '70s. I would often think of you as I would drive, hike, or bike in the mountains of Colorado in the '80s, where I saw you play several times (including once when you stumbled over the lyrics to" Leader of the Band.") Your music has always touched my heart and soul, and I look forward to the day when I hear your newest songs. Thank you! ~ Michael G, Loma Linda, California

Dan- I was heartbroken when I found about your condition today, but I was heartened by your success in battling it when I checked your website. It is as though your music is the soundtrack of my life and through the personal nature of
your music I feel that I know you almost as a dear friend. I am 53  years old and was at Northwestern University while you were at U of I. However,  I studied veterinary medicine at the U of I, graduating in 1983. Through the years I have purchased all your  music, including the wonderful collaborations with Tim Weisberg. When I got  married I turned my wife onto your music and we have not missed a concert when  you made it to Chicago, the last show being at Navy Pier. Your music moved  her as well, however, I was a bit disturbed as she seemed quite enamored by you  and I felt as though my favorite vocalist/songwriter was stealing the heart of  my wife.
 
Your music has brought me comfort so many times as well as moving me to  tears. When my wife and I went through some marital rough waters in the  past, "Exiles" took on an even deeper more personal meaning to me. "The Last  Farewell" being especially heart wrenching. (We are doing very well right  now). Many of your lyrics remain ingrained in my heart and mind. I wish that I  could truly eloquently express the depth of my appreciation for your God-given  talent
but I hope in my inarticulate meanderings here you can determine  that. I wish you and your wife nothing but the best and I hope you can  continue to share your wonderful gift with your adoring fans. My wife and I eagerly anticipate the time when you are recording and touring again...we will  be there. Fondly ~ Peter S. Sakas DVM (Pete)

Mr. Fogelberg,  My wife and I love and respect you so much. Your music has touched us deeply. I know one thing. When I am sick of the world and need to calm down....you are IT. When I feel like rocking out (in the true sensible way)...YOU are IT!!!!! We saw you in concert in Cincinnati and I damn near cried on "Gambler." I love that song so much. It's a beautiful song. I'm not a gambler, but that song gives me hope. My wife has been afflicted with cancer too. We know how very tough it is. We wish God's Grace on you and your family. I truly thank God for you. You have the insight of someone who knows, who's been there and who would like to go there. My wife introduced me to you (other than the radio hits) and I was hooked. I have more of your albums and cd's than anyone (other than the Beatles). You are my personal Jim Croce, Harry Chapin and all of the other revered songwriters. You know what? I DEFINITELY CONSIDER YOU A GUITARIST! Your guitar playing is absolutely SUPERB!!! "Road Beneath My Wheels" was amazing in concert. My wife didn't touch the binoculars during that song. I just watched you play. You are an amazing musician, writer, singer and person. I thank God and you for your legacy. Take this time to enjoy yourself and your family. Get the most out of everything and then you can bless us with your music again, when you're ready. Love Always ~ Mike & Penny McGlothin

Dear Dan, I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better and fighting hard.  How many times can you hear that your music has changed a life?  Can you stand to hear it one more time?  I hope so.  When I try to put words to how your music has influenced, inspired and uplifted me for the last 30+ years, no word seems deep enough or true enough.  All my heartfelt thoughts sound trite and cliche.  Please know the thoughts run deeper than my words will ever touch. I've lost count of how many of your concerts I've been to, but April of '83 in the Cole Field House at the University of Maryland seems lodged in my brain as a transforming moment in my life.  Front row seats didn't hurt!  You, a guitar and a piano, what else is there? That night, I can tell you, there was nothing else for me. I could spend all day on an inventory of songs and what each has meant to me, but no worries, I won't go there.  I will stick with the most recent way your music has brought me peace.  With Christmas just passed, your hauntingly beautiful Christmas album is still cooling off from constant play.  Since its release, it rose instantly to the top of my Christmas play (It shares the #1 space in my heart with Christmas With Chet Atkins - I hope you find the company acceptable).   Your music is the closest thing to church I experience during the holidays, and has become synonymous with Christmas in this home.  "Lift your heart to the glorious season, Bid all your sorrows be still" says it all for me.  It releases the negative and refocuses my mind and heart on the things that matter.  My hope for you is that your own poetry and music lift your heart as much as they do mine.  Your work is truly healing for the rest of us - I am praying that it helps to heal you as well.  I am forwarding a link to your letter (and "sermon") to every man I know.  We love you, Dan.  We need you, Dan. Be well. ~ Peyton, Kingsville, Maryland

Dear Dan, I only recently heard you were fighting cancer. I just wanted you to know that I carry your music with me when I backpack out west and in the northeast, when I sail in Peconic Bay on Long Island and at other times. I´ve seen you in concert several times and grew up to your music in my brother´s farm house in Poultney, Vermont. It is said that when we finally leave this planet we are judged by what we leave behind. I´m sure that what  you´ve given to the world with your music & fretwork means something different to everyone, but for my own happy life, I consider it the musical
backdrop for most of my young adult memories. Your appreciation for the great outdoors and the sublime beauty of the west and parts of Maine´s coast is ringing in your songs. I´ve been there with you by listening. And I´ve carried the essence of you with me through the woods and over the coastal waters of my own neighborhood. I thank you from a very deep place in me for creating lyrical, spiritual music. Thank you for Nether Lands- I courted my wife to that one. Thank you for Captured Angel- some of the greatest walking music. Souvenirs, Phoenix, The Innocent Age all my favorites. Please know that for me, it wasn´t just the music, it was the message. Good Luck to you and best to your family, I´m pulling for you. Best ~ Clay Burt, Mattituck, NY

Dan, Having just completed a 9 month battle with cancer, I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Your music has been a pleasure in my life and I wish your family all of the best. It is a very humbling experience, isn't it? Having to face the reality of "this could be it" provides a dimension to life that only others in similar circumstance can truly appreciate. Try reading Lance Armstrong's "It's Not About the Bike". A fast read that is inspirational as well. Best wishes ~ Tom (Beaver, PA)

Dear Dan, I am a fan of your beautiful music. I played your song "Leader of the Band" for my friend whose father just passed away suddenly.  He was so touched by it that he cannot hear it without crying.  We made a CD of music to play at the memorial service, and included "Leader of the Band." Everyone who was there enjoyed hearing the excellent instruments and melody, and the touching lyrics.Thanks for sharing your incredible gift. ~ KSH

Hi, Dan...I am so glad to hear that you're doing better. I am a breast cancer survivor since June 2004, (seems like a very, very long time) and getting ready to have a hysterectomy two days from now that I pray will be routine, and without any cancer. I don't know what your treatment was, but I went through only 6 chemo treatments and that was way enough for me. Still have some residual numbness in my feet, and no sense of taste or smell, but I'm alive. I think of you often - since I heard about you several months ago - I so appreciate the fact that I can check in from time to time and see how you are...as my friends do with me.You're in my thoughts - I will keep you in the light and we can be survivors together. My very best wishes for your continued good health, and my deepest gratitude for the music that you have given all of us over the years. ~ Pam Biagi

Dan, My sister and I were talking about you the other day and we were curious to see how you were doing. I am so happy that you are doing so well. I have been  listening to you since I was a freshman in high school in NJ. I am now 46. I  always dreamed that I would move to Colorado and was always so inspired by your  music. I have been to Colorado, but never got the chance to move there. Still  here in NJ, but hey, it's the Garden State! Seriously though, my very best wishes to you and your wife. Please know  that people here are thinking of you and wishing you all the best. I am still a  huge fan and will always love your music. God bless you. ~ Dina Hanlon

I have listened to your music since high school. My collection has evolved from a full collection on vinyl, cassettes and now CD's. I have spent a small  fortune on your music. Let me tell you it was worth every penny and I am so thankful that you do the things that you do. Through your music you have touched  millions of people and have given hope where there was none. I can truly say  you have touched my life and I am a better person because I have listened to  your words and music. I want to thank you and pray for your continued  recovery. All my love ~ Pam Crawford

Dan, I feel awful that I haven't been back to check up on you for a while, but am glad I finally did. I am sooooo very happy that your health is on the 'happy track' and recovery is going so well. I want to wish you a very happy and healthy 2006 filled with love and support. ~ Grenda, Charleston, WV

I've spent a lot of time living with your songs. Your lyrics have helped me many times. Best wishes. Thanks ~ Glen Hale, Pawhuska, Oklahoma

DF- I have always enjoyed your music. I have been an RN for 22 years, so I have an idea of what you and your wife have been going through. Our best wishes and prayers are with you!

I really dont know what to say,just all the best. Your music has changed my life,and I think in some respect made me know what love is. Please come back to red rocks soon, Dan. ~ Mike Meli

Mr. Fogelberg (Dan),  Maybe you'll get this, maybe not.  But, you are the reason I play the guitar (although not recently).  A friend in YoungLife - club guitar player (back in high school in the 80's) Brian Lindamood hooked me on your music, and the rest is history... I wish you the best of health.  I have been impacted recently by the loss of both my parents and grand parents (from cancer) and know that treatment medicine is a rapidly advancing skill/art. Regards ~ John F. Crawford

I am so pleased that you are doing better.  I have this web-site under my favorites and check it from time to time.  I always hear "Same Old Lang Syne" in my head every New Years, and I hope that this is a beautiful New Lang Syne for you and your family. Thank you again for my wedding song of 25 years ago, "Longer".  Thank you also for playing that song at one of my anniversaries in a concert hall in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  My thoughts are forever with you. ~ Beth Collins

I'm almost 50 and bought Home Free as a cut out in the record store in high school. Remember those little notches? (guess you weren't too popular then...)  Sorry to hear that you belong to the Club but glad to hear that you are doing well.  What a mind bending experience.  Clapton wrote "Tears in Heaven".  What are you going to write?  There are more people than you care to think that would be able to relate...I know that you have it in you. ~ Jan Masiuk, Bilateral mastectomy and breast cancer club member

Dearest Dan,  As a nurse working daily with life and death, my heart stopped when I read on your website about the ordeal you and your family are facing. I first heard your music when I was a child,and have never stopped listening. It has touched me in ways you could never imagine. Not a Christmas season goes by without "Nether Lands"playing constantly. Thank You for the beauty and enlightenment you have brought to my life. I wish you well,I wish your family well. All the best ~  Janet C, Connecticut.

I'm so glad to hear of your recovery, Dan. Prayers of healing and positive thoughts continue to be sent your way. And thank you for the many, many years of beautiful music through which you have blessed my life. ~ Mickey Frith, Nashville, TN

Good Lord!...I finally have found out how you're doing. I am not on the computer much these days and, was lucky enough to come across your web site. I am thrilled to hear that you are feeling better, Dan, and hope you are  continuing to write such beautiful music as you always do.  Much love to  you and your family. . I am a 40 year old man that has had prostatitis for 4 years and will  continue to keep up on the condition. Thank you for suggesting on getting tested  on PSA.~ Alan

As I wish you and your beautiful wife Jean a very happy new year, I hope and pray for your continued good health this coming year and in the years that follow.  Your Christmas CD has been  in high rotation this season.  It is so beautifully done.  I wanted to  share a few thoughts with you on this new year's day.  So here they are:

First Dan, you are a true national treasure.  The quality, depth and breadth of your  work are unparalleled.  No one comes close.  Best of all, you never compromised your artistic integrity.  And your guitar playing is outstanding!!!  I saved up to buy a beautiful guitar upon graduating from college, headed straight for guitar lessons and asked my instructor to teach me how to play some of your songs.  It was the sound so beautiful and so full of thought that captivated me.  It still does.  And your electric guitar playing is equally amazing.  You can rock! Like so many who've posted their thoughts, your music has been interwoven through the years of my life.  I  took comfort in your music in 1981 when my brother died suddenly at the age of  23.  "Same Old Lang Syne" and "Hard to Say" were on the radio then.  The song playing in the hospital at the time he died was George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun", which I was never able to listen to all the way through afterwards until you recorded it on Something Old, New, Borrowed and Some  Bluesand somehow the comfort of your voice so familiar lifted my heavy heart all those years later and made it possible without the usual lump in my  throat and tears streaming down my face. I've been fortunate to see you four times in concert.  I'll never forget the first time in the mid 80's in Detroit as you sang "Leader of the Band", sniffles abounded as both men and women dabbed away tears.  You could have heard a pin drop.   

Thank you for sharing your gift of music and song so  generously throughout the years.  Your songs are like soundscapes with a richness and beauty that will  always stand the test of time.  Only you know for sure whether you still have more to say and if you want to say  it.  Whatever your final decision  with regard to recording and performing in the future, put yourself first and do  what's right for you.  You've  already given so much to so many. It is with utmost respect and appreciation that I wish you and Jean the  very best in the new year. I hope the many well wishes being sent your way comfort you, too.  With warm regards ~ Linda, Plymouth, Michigan

For Dan and Jean..may the new year bring the joy of renewing life as now, there is for sure a second chance with the wonderful news of the cancer in remission, and yes Dan, thank YOU for the music that you have brought us through the years. Jean, thank YOU, for standing by him, through the good times and the not so good times. Dan, the truth behind a good man, is a good woman. Now with that said, I have enjoyed the music since '75..yes I did listen to the "Home Free" album, and have kept up since, missed the Eagles tour..but finally caught you at Waikiki (yes a small concert, in 84(?) --courtesy of a Navy Reserve 2 week active duty. Whether your return to the studio or the tours happens is not important. You have already blessed us with so many of your songs. So my friend, thank you for the memories, and the songs, as your father raised you well with a great gift that you have enriched all of our lives with. My wishes for a wonderful life, and peace, for you and your loved ones and friends. We will always have the blessing of your incredible volume of music to listen to, and pass down to the younger generation. May God Bless...Peter E, Loudon Tn

All the words I hold in my heart for you and your beautiful music, the soundtrack of my life, as well as thousands of others have already been said so, I will just say...THANK YOU from deep in my soul for all you are and all you have given. My prayers are with you and yours daily.  May God bless your new year with happiness and continued and complete healing.  With much love and thanks, a lifelong fan (hardly an adequate term) ~ Audrey
