So true wilsondm2. I was shocked when I read this on the internet Friday. Had every intention of posting and forgot. England Dan and John Ford Coley is some of my all time favorite music.

Rest in peace Dan! You will be missed.

I hadn't heard of his Passing. RIP.

Saw them in concert down in New Orleans many years ago. Good stuff.

Many of the musicians of my youth have gone on recently. Guess that is to be expected as you approach 60.

Thank you Wilsondm2, one of my all time favorite songs! Love it.

 

[wilsondm2]

you're all welcome. thank you all for posting as well and sending good thoughts to Dan.

I met him once in San Antonio at his concert and he was very much a gentleman and good soul.

I too grew up with his music. His music resonates in my heart and brings joy to me when I'm down.

His death affected me even deeper than when I heard Dan Fogelberg died.

<sigh> Im feeling old when my heroes start dying.

I *will* miss Dan Seals and his music very much...

A gentle soul, and great musician. The world will miss his music, and his kindness. God Bless you, Dan.

Dan Fogelberg another of my all time favorites. I cried when he died, so sad. Great musicians, what a loss. My iPod is filled with both of these guys music. One of my favorites from Fogelberg is The Wild Places, what an awesome song.

My sentiments exactly - ditto - me too -

R.I.P even though I don't know much about the guy.

RIP - the music lives on.  The songs of England Dan, Fogleberg, Nilson, Harry Chapin.  They still make me cry when I hear them.

 

[Kind]

Sad to hear.
