Leader of the Band
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. I credit my dad for my love of music and for sitting and playing all his records for me when I was a child. Dan Fogelberg was one of his favorites. This song makes me cry every time I hear it. What was shocking was that as I was googling this song, I saw a link that announced that Dan died this morning, having been diagnosed with prostate cancer back in 2004. So, I find it especially fitting to post this, not only as a tribute, but also in the memory of a great singer. The song, Leader of the Band is a tribute to Dan's father.

McKay
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

Re: Leader of the Band
I know, I was really shocked. I'd listened to the song earlier in the evening when I was at the gym and decided when I got home to post it on here. I was very sad to learn he'd passed away that morning.
