Last Friday was local legend, Dan Fogelberg’s birthday. In honor of this occasion I’ve got seven links to online articles about this hometown hero and a video from the Professor of Rock naming his three favorite Dan Fogelberg songs.
And below that are the MBIP Coming Attractions for what’s happening on the blog next week. So there!
