The Leader of the Band..... - A Meeting of Minds

Dan Fogelberg, who will always be remembered for his hits Leader of the Band and Same Old Lang Syne died yesterday of prostate cancer. He was 56.

Dan was quoted a while back as saying that he wasn't like his hits made him appear. He was really a very upbeat person.

"We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to now........."

Here's to you, Dan.
