my dad died the same way and he played the violin so they are probably playing with my Grandpa right now and my uncle on the mandolyn so they got the band along with other musicians.
thank you sumer for this vid,, love dan's music since i was alittle boy..From the video seems this song fits your family like a glove, keep playing your music from the heart!
P.S I'm sure God has been graced with your fathers music for the past ten years and many more are still being touched by his influence here on earth R.I.P Mr. Lewis
I am humbled by the awesome response to my video. And I thank each and every one of you. My father was a wonderful man, who only loved music straight from his soul. And I was priveleged to have him as my father. Again, thank you all.
redrock58 Such a meaningful tribute to your father. It sure is nice to know, that there are children who still thinks the world of their parents after they have passed "like you do" my heart goes out to you. Once again very touching and, a very very appropriate song!.
your tribute to your dad was so touching. so often people die and think they didnt do anything great to change the world, not knowing the rich legacy they leave in the hearts of their children and thei childrens children. but one day you will see your dad in heaven again, guitar in hand
"I am a living legacy of the leader of the band............" Sumer61,....It's so touching to know that there are people who kept attached to all the influences made by their parents...and keeping it goin'....thanks for sharing this!!!...the leader of the band gonna be proud of this.....
i have my dad as well but he is not dead yet. he is in the other country. i left him because my mom bring me in england. we've been together for 16 years. i'm just 17 but i know he was sad as well
Beautiful tribute. Your's is the first video on youtube to bring me to tears (When you showed the next generation of the band!) Your dad and mine would have gotten along well. I will try to do one for my dad and son too. Thanks for the inspiration.
I live in Peoria, Illinois, which is where Dan Fogelberg was raised and where his mother still lives. He is truly a special artist and this song was obviously about his father who was the director of a high school band here in Peoria.
Very nice tribute Sumer ♥
