Last Thursday marked the 13th anniversary of the Death of Dan Fogelberg. Hard to believe he’s been gone for over a dozen years!
Dan is a true Peoria hometown hero and below are six links to online interviews and articles about him and there’s also a trifecta of links to MBIP posts that I’ve written about Dan through the years.
And then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions for what’s happening here next week.
