The best lyricist who ever lived. We all still love you Dan.

I remember Dan's comment he made on this song, that he was so proud of it, and felt it was one of his best. I quite agree, it's a masterpiece. Yes, now Dan, his song, and the ocean he loved are one. Like everyone here, after 30 years, Dan is all I listen to and all I need. His music, voice,and face are a part of me.

It's really so good to be to talk about my obsession to people who can relate!

I miss him beyond words, thank G-d my husband is very understanding!

There will never be another Dan.

@pre10der76 Where in the world did you find this concert? I was at the Nashville show. Can the sound quality be improved. I want a copy. where can I get it and what is the cost?

[GeoSonata]

Can't tell you how many times I played this song through the course of my life! One of his best!

He was one of the very few "voices" out there in the world with amazing insight and honest heart channeled through outstanding musical expression!He was (and is) a musical-and-otherwise brother of the soul to me.I miss him.

Three years ago today,the world lost a cherished voice...But Dan left behind a "Living Legacy" that will continue throughout the days of my own life, to the end of days.

I was at that concert. In the old Sam Houston Coliseum. Before he started playing, I remember him apologizing ahead of time about his voice not being up to par that night. I would have never known. What a voice. What a genius.

@ilovedgf I so agree! My ex introduced me to Dan's music. He owned all of Dan's LPs, to-date, and played/sang many of the songs from Dan's songbook. For many yrs I was happily immersed in his music. When my marriage ended, the LPs went too. Dan's music was too painful a reminder of my failed marriage, for years! At some point, Dan's glorious music came back to me, and now my house is again filled with his beautiful sound. Goosebumps! You're our angel Dan, Thank you for all the beautiful music

Wonderful song. He was where he wanted to be when he died.

@ilovedgf Its like you took the words right out of my mouth!! I feel the way about Dan and his music. Dan is all I listen to--every day!! I never tire from listening! He wasa genius and did so many different types of music so well. I just really cant get enough! He has been, is and will always be my most favorite. I miss him too, maybe thats why I am "obsessed too!!!

Fogelberg lived on Deer Isle, a coastal island very near Bar Harbor, Maine. His song The Reach is about the body of water called Eggemoggin Reach which separates the island from the mainland. In his song The Minstrel he sang of sailing on this reach and mentioned nearby Jehrico Bay.
