      @@lancedieckow7541 That's awesome! Really wish I could have seen him live. I discovered his music after his passing, unfortunately. Strange turn of events I met one of his nieces a few years back while I was substitute teaching. I was calling attendance and the last name stuck out to me, sure enough she was related to him.

    The audience is pissing me off. This is a mellow song that you listen and you appreciate the artistry behind it and the message in it. The new young audiences have no fucking respect. If you took this group of artists up on the stage and put them in a similarly filled concert hall in the 70s 80s or 90s, you wouldn’t hear anything but the music and the message which is what was important

    This is such a magical song, and they did a great job........ that being said, there are some songs (that to me) should be left alone. Some songs should be untouchable, and this is one of those songs. If you can't sing it in the right key, leave it be.

    88shirleyb88 : Different, but a great honest tribute to a great song and a great songwriter and singer. Thank you. When I heard the first few seconds of your version, I made up my mind to not like it; but by thirty seconds into the song I realized, "Hey dumbass (that's me) they don't have to sound just like Dan Fogelberg; and you don't. But you still sound great. I think this is an honest and beautiful tribute to him and this beautiful song. Once again, thank you.

      Feel free to check out the original. It's pretty much Dan and his guitar with harmony vocals at the end. There is a brief interlude of horns and strings which is the main tribute to his father, who was music and band teacher.

    I'm not the first one to say this, but the audience needs to shut up and enjoy the song. There are some songs that lend themselves to cheering throughout, and there are other songs that require respect and reverence. The leader of the band by Dan fogelberg does not need a hype man to keep the song going. Anytime I've gone to see a band live, regardless of the genre, when everyone grabs a stool and forms a semicircle, The audience realizes this is a quiet/unplugged song and they need to shut up for a second.
