:cry::cry: I did know he had been ill. I had been wondering about him each time I hear the song "Same Old Lang Syne" this season. One of my all time favorites songs. So Sad.  :cry::cry:

We were listening to Channel 2 on Sirius coming home from the beach. We try to relieve the boredom by listening to songs and trying to be the first to guess the artist. They were playing only Christmas music, and "Same Old Lang Syne" came on. Neither of us could remember his name -- my husband and I remarked that it's been ages since we've heard one of his songs.
 
Anyhow, sad to hear this.

I hate to hear that, I like his music, especially Run for the Roses and Leader of the Band.

Me too Minnie. Leader of the Band always makes me cry.

I used to listen to some really obscure stuff of his - long before he got "famous." One of my favorites was called "To the Morning."  An absolutely beautiful song to listen to, but the lyrics alone still move me:
 
[FONT=Georgia]Watching the sun...watching it come 
Watching it come up over the rooftops 
Cloudy and warm...maybe a storm 
You can never quite tell from the morning

(Chorus) 
And it's going to be a day 
There is really no way to say no to the morning 
Yes it's going to be a day 
There is really nothing left to say but come on morning 

Waiting for mail 
Maybe a tale from an old friend or even a lover 
Sometimes there's none 
But we have fun thinking of all who might have written 

(Chorus)

And maybe there are seasons 
And maybe they change 
And maybe to love is not so strange

The sounds of the day 
Now they hurry away 
Now they are gone until tomorrow 
When day will break and you will wake 
And you will rake your hands across your eyes and realize 
That it's going to be a day 
There is really no way to say no to the morning 
Yes it's going to be a day 
There is really nothing left to say but come on morning 

And maybe there are seasons and maybe they change 
And maybe to love is not so strange

Hey Linda! :wave: 
This is Beautiful!

Makes me want to dig out my old LP's and listen.  I could only find a 30 second clip online.  Trust me when I tell you, it's an absolutely wonderful song.  
 
P.S. Missed you guys - you have no idea.

He was a very attractive man. Here is a link to his website with the announcement and a personal plea from Dan to all men over 50 to be tested.
