Christmas song for all to enjoy . . .

[French Letter]

A tribute to Dan Fogelberg who died of prostate cancer Dec. 16, 2007 aged 56.



My all time fav. Christmas/New Year 'pop' song…


Dan Fogelberg, (aka - ' Leader of the Band'), returned to his home town for Christmas one year and by coincidence met up with his old high school flame.

True story, so he wrote a song about it.

Tucson, Arizona (Gazette) by Dan Fogelberg - another true story.




‘Tony keeps his Chevy,

Locked, like a virgin, in his garage’



‘His older brother, Bobby,

Never made it back from Viet Nam.’



“He said he had some cocaine,

That she could have if she just ride along.’


A towering achievement, with a striking 90 second instrumental finish/slow fade.

The sight of 'VU' meters (at 0:09), always haunts me from my radio days.

Some nice lyrics and a smooth sounding song.

Not quite my cuppa tea but still a good tune.
