Mortality

Singer and songwriter Dan Fogleberg died on Sunday. His music was a major part of my world during the 70's & 80's.

As I get older it is becoming increasingly frequent that people I know, or know of, are crossing over to the other side.

George Bernard Shaw once said: "Life does not cease to be serious when people laugh. Neither does it cease to be funny when people die." I suppose that's true. But I cannot help but feel a bit sad at the loss of this lyricist whose words touched my heart over the years. Go swiftly Dan. May your memory be eternal.
