"Once in a vision I came on some woodsAnd stood at a fork in the roadMy choices were clear, yet I froze with the fearOf not knowing which way to goOne road was simple acceptance of lifeThe other road offered sweet peaceWhen I made my decisionMy vision became my release"Dan Fogelberg, "Netherlands"(I knew I wouldn't get through typing that without crying.)To the road less traveled and to Dan's release.Ted

He was one of my few mentors. I never heard a song of his that didn't give me something to hold on to and help move me forward.We have lost a major talent.

I saw what you did, Steve. Need some more lyric ideas? Funny thing, you used similar lines that we rejected! Parasite...

One of my college roommates loves Fogelberg, as did a recent boss of mine. I always loved the line "I see the raven made a nest in your eyes."He touched a lot of lives through his music, and will be missed. Here's to you Dan!
