Paulie Mississippi Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 You put a ring on her finger and she puts a ring in your nose... and an anchor in your a**? Just kiddin' ladies... just kiddin'... I did go to a wedding once and the ministers son, a boy of about 9, asked me why they used rings... and I told him that Mel got a ring on her finger and Benny got one in his nose... and he runs back and tells his Mom and Dad... The Mrs. Pastor kind of glared at me so to top off my prank, I found a kid's cracker-jack type ring, bent it so it wouldn't hurt and talked the boy into putting in his nose... and then showing mama... The minister was laughing his a** off and his wife was getting hotter and hotter... and more at him for thinking I was funny... It was too cool...

Paulie Mississippi Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I started to point that out too, but thought maybe he was being sarcastic/funny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmichel Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I stand corrected...It is Tim Weisberg...Actually i was afraid i'd spell Weisberg wrong...And then i end up getting the wrong first name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Eric's friend, Tommy, is at the Irving Azoff Agency. And I recorded that "quadruple platinum " hit, Rainin' In My Heart at good old Golden Voice Studios in Pekin, Phil! (It was so unmemorable, I don't even recall the vocalist's name!) Such a small world in music! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ira Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Based on Phil's ongoing recommendations-and a hell of a coupon-I just bought "The Very Best Of Dan Fogelberg" at "Borders".I'm not exaggerating-I cry each time I listen to "Leader Of The Band".Between fathers and children-"That's the way I always heard it should be" (to quote Ms. Simon totally out of context,)Thanks Phil for reminding us how great Dan is.-Ira.

Tim From Wisconsin Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 ira - I agree with you. As I referenced at the start of this thread, Dan can certainly touch your heart. I think it's a combination of his lyrics and the beautiful and haunting tone of his voice. I would recommend "Nether Lands" for you next. The entire album is great!Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Fogelberg's early albums had a bit too much strange word pronunciation when he sang.(Dan's occasional creepy style, an acquired taste)But by the "Innocent Age" Dan was using that full fabulous voice for the cause of good! So many great songs on 1 double album: Leader Of The Band, Run For The Roses, Same Old Lang Syne, Hard To Say, The Reach, In The Passage, Only The Heart May Know, The Lion's Share...Get "The Innocent Age Next" CD next!

darlene Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I love Dan's music. Leader of the Band always makes me cry, too. It has a special significance for me because Mr. Fogelberg was a band director in the area where I taught strings. I taught in Roanoke, Illinois, outside of Peoria, and all the music teachers in that area knew each other very well, especially since I played in the Peoria Symphony. Around that time, Phil (Sterling) was graduating from high school! I adore The Innocent Age. I hope Dan's health is improving. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
