Full Circle by Dan Fogelberg (CD, May-2003, Morning Sky)

Why did I buy it? I misplaced my first copy and being a complete Fogelberg fanatic, could not do without it. It is an excellent CD and is aptly named because it seemed to point back to the music of his beginnings. So sad that it would be his last new CD since he has since passed away to the "Great Recording Studio In The Sky" Why Ebay? I almost always try to find things that I am looking to purchase by looking on Ebay. I like being able to get right to the area of things that interest me without having to sort through mountains of otherwise useless information. And more likely than not, I generally end up saving money, or I am able to find things that are no longer available when I happen to start to look for them. In the last 8-10 years, I have only had one bad experience on Ebay, and that one was the sellers fault, not Eebay's.

Dan's Little Joke

Did you know that Dan played all the instruments on the 2003 CD "Full Circle"?
"Wait," you say, "I have that CD and there's a list of musicians".

The musicians:
Roland Laboite - drums, percussion
Donny Trout - bass
Sven Birkebeiner - keyboards
Lee Mealone - congas, percussion

Take a moment, can you figure any of them out on your own?

Answers, below....

Roland Laboite - drums, percussion
*The drum machine (also known as a "drum box", or "beat box") Dan programmed for the CD was made by Roland Corporation.
Laboite is French for "box".

Donny Trout - bass
*Trout. Bass.

Sven Birkebeiner - keyboards
*Skiers call their skis "boards". The Birkebeiner is a Nordic cross country ski race honoring a historic Norwegian event. In 1206, two warrior soldiers, called "Birkebeiners" because of the birch-bark leggings they wore, skied infant Prince Haakon to safety during the Norwegian civil war. Prince Haakon subsequently became King of Norway, and the Birkebeiner soldiers became a Norwegian symbol of courage, perseverance and character in the face of adversity.

Lee Mealone - congas, percussion
* Le' me alone, ay....

Who else but Dan Fogelberg would have done this being such a private man and having such an awesome sense of humor. Something more for us to remember him by. AWESOME CD!!!
