Found this looking for something else…. but I liked this one better.

This was (is?) my favorite cartoon as a kid growing up. I remember on Saturdays getting making sure I got up in time to catch the Pink Panther cartoon….. which also featured Inspector Clouseau.

That guitar that Jim Stafford was using is wild!! I didn’t know they even made guitars that could sound like that…. unreal! Roy was a great guitar player, but I think he got over-looked as a great guitar player because of the humor element in his performances….. but he didn’t take a back-seat to anyone when it came to guitar playing…..…

Yes…. I think it’s a combination. I think Dan was making a reference to Carl Jung, but he probably used the word “Forever” because of his name. Kind of a double meaning.

Dan once listed his cat “Remington Buckaroo Boone” as the executive producer on the credits of his album “River of Souls”. He did this because sometimes he would work in the…

I posted this song once before and Mr. Roe asked me if this was a play on words referencing age. I had to do some digging after that question….. I had never heard anywhere or read anything that referenced how this title came to be. But I think I found it….. Dan was really big into philosophy and I found out that one of the authors of some…

Can’t leave this one out with this title!!

When I saw the title of your thread…. I kept having that feeling that I knew those words from somewhere…….. then it hit me after I posted my comment. You and Dan must be reading quotes from the same source…. LOL. Look at these lyrics around the :58 second mark.

I know time heals, but losing close loved ones is always rough.

This is a great song. And, of course, Mona & Lisa did an absolutely beautiful version. Their vocals and guitar work keep you mesmerized throughout the song. I never bought this album or “The Wall”….. not because I didn’t like it back in my early years. When some of my friends got…

I’m so glad it worked out for two clubbers to get together. Hopefully clubbers meeting up becomes contagious!!

That is unreal!! I couldn’t keep my eyes off the whole set up and background….. UNBELIEVABLE!! I can’t imagine the hours it took to, not only set up that track with the background, but to get all the timing involved set in place…. WOW!!

Nice Post Jurgen!!

That is so cool….. I’m glad you found this! I remember in the New Orleans French Quarter…. there was a street musician that played songs using glasses like this….. he even took requests. But it’s a lot harder than those two make it look. One of my sons was recruited for a song where he played rhythm….. he had to get a quick lesson on…

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that the twins were more passionate about their music than the rewards. And yes, Dan was the same way and even wrote songs about it. But I do think this is where many separate….. I think too many hit that crossroad of following their passion or bowing and giving in to the “gold” , as Dan put…

Here’s another one from Dan’s “Twin Sons of Different Mothers” album.

I don’t know the first time I heard this one, but I’m pretty sure it was a while back. I feel like I heard it even before the La Bamba movie, but I have no idea where….. it just seems very familiar. But I could have never thought of this one without some influence to jog my memory.

Yeah, I turned on your camera again a few days ago and…

Yeah, I like the humor in those album covers. As far as finding songs for topics on these threads, I’m pretty sure I’m more limited than most in here. I have some favorites outside of Dan, like Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Simon & Garfunkel, and several others…. but there was something about Dan and his music (like the twins) that just made me…

That’s a good point…. I never really thought about it that way before…. but I think you’re right. Instrumental music can take you anywhere as compared to lyrical songs.

Yeah, not a lot of instrumental songs come to mind. I posted Frankenstein by Edgar Winter and a guitar solo by Roy Clark….. those were the only two that my noodle could…

Here’s one off the first album in this genre with Tim W. A few of the songs do have lyrics as well, but those don’t fit this thread. This is the album with Dan’s “Power of Gold”. It was a last minute addition to this album because it wasn’t suppose to be on it at all. The track that was suppose to be the last track of the album, didn’t quite…

Very nice! I noticed she wasn’t reading it off a music sheet….. I’m not a musician, but how people play like this can remember every nuance of the song is amazing in itself.

Absolutely!! That was very nice. The next time I need to unwind at the end of the day, I’m just going to pull up this thread….. There’s a lot of relaxing music in this one….. Nice Post Jurgen!

I used to not listen to these two albums that much, then one day Bud J. and I were talking about Jazz. I told him that I knew Dan had done some Jazz pieces and I would go ahead and post some examples. After those posts, I found myself going back to these albums more and more. I especially noticed how calming they were. So on days when work…

Oh, I knew that there were musicians out there that played other genres like Dan’s friend Jimmy Buffet….. who also performed country. But what I meant was, how many out there played music in 5 or more genres and wrote the pieces they played? There may be some…. my knowledge of music has somewhat of a small circle….. but I’ll bet that…

I don’t know this to be fact, but I have a theory about Dan F. I think he needed to be constantly challenged musically. I think the challenge is what made him tick. Don’t get me wrong, he loved music, but I think when he started to get bored in a genre, he would just switch genres to see if he could do it. I don’t know of another musician…

There is some talking, but the music is an instrumental.

Here’s some guitar work by Dan with a Latin flare.

Very soothing….. I would think that the children would be asleep before the show starting if this was the intro….. LOL. Probably a parents favorite too…. LOL.

Am I right that the instrument was a clarinet? Nice one Paul! This may have to be my go to song at the end of the day before bed!

That one slipped my noodle when this post came up…… great choice!! This video “foreshadows” the greatness to come. Actually, it already arrived at this point…. LOL. I really like watching Lisa pick that guitar….. WOW!

Nice one Jung!!

I don’t think I ever heard that before…… very nice!! And what a nice tribute. I don’t know anything about Ryan White….. be he seemed to have is head on straight. Thanks for posting.

Dan not only wrote and made albums that were in different genres, he also played them at his concerts. He enjoyed getting away from what he was most known for (rock ballads) and venturing off musically in different directions. To him, it made music more interesting and fun. He believed that by mixing it up and having fun……. that feeling…

I’m not sure….. I don’t know as much about his two albums where he took his music in a different direction. I would not be surprised at all if there is a connection to Chopin. Dan in his spare time listened to many classical artists of the past….. while I know Mozart was his favorite, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Chopin was in his…

I feel like I’ve heard that in a movie, but for the life of me, I can’t remember which one (or maybe I’ve got it confused with something similar?)….. or a TV show maybe?

Ok, here’s one that fits this thread…. and it’s not Dan Fogelberg! Dan played something like 14 different instruments, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone play as many as Edgar Winter in one song!

Edgar Winter – Frankenstein

This may be one the most recognizable pieces on the planet in just the opening 3 seconds. I think I’ve heard this one just about all my life.

I’ve been listening to more instrumentals in the last several months than I have in my entire life. The ones I’ve been listening to have that relaxing theme going on….. great at night before going to bed.

Interesting….. so an artist that has put together an instrumental piece….. hmmmm, let me see if I can think of anyone off the top of my head. Oh yeah, there’s this guy from Peoria, Illinois that did some instrumental music…… maybe you’ve heard of him?

That was very, very interesting. At first, I kept having this thought in my head that this seems like a lot of money with almost nothing to show for it….. until the end when he said they are doing this to “inspire” the next generations. That got me thinking that maybe that is something that is missing with today’s generations….. not…

That sounds like a cool trip…. hope that cough subsides by then. While I’m typing this, the twins just posted the Friday video….. WOTT (Kinks). Now, I could be first since no one has posted yet…. But if you get up early this moring…. go there first, not here. LOL

Blue is back to his old self now….. I’m starting to think it might have…

We are on the same page for sure! When I was thinking about what Dan must have been up against back during the time when he was an activist for mother earth and her creatures….. that line from way back then hit me. I can still remember in my 20’s when this subject came up….. those “morons” as you put it, would use that line. And you’re…

Absolutely!! What a great perspective. We are considered an advanced species (although there may be some civilization out there that might laugh at this remark)…… so you would think we would have the ability to recognize the importance of taking care of our home. How precious this planet really is…. but sadly we place greed and power…

Yeah, Dan was into taking care of the planet at a time when people like him were referred to as “tree hugging hippies”. But he seemed to grasp the importance of respecting mother earth at a fairly young age. When Dan moved to Colorado, he lived very close to an Indian reservation. He was good friends with many native Americans. And, of course,…

Besides liking his music, he must have had great foresight. He wrote many songs about taking care of the planet (Mother Earth) and our wildlife over 40 years ago!! I know it wasn’t unheard of back then, but I don’t think people took it as seriously as he did back then either. One of his songs that amazes me with his foresight is “Face the…
