Longer

Please be mindful that Dan played this song with piano and a 69 piece orchestra for the recording. I am doing my own take with just acoustic guitar. This is my favorite song form his catalog of music that he left us.
"In 1977, Dan Fogelberg released his fourth album called Nether Lands, his album title a play on Nederland, Colorado, the location of the studios where he recorded his album."
In Dan's own words about the song......"You have no idea (laughs). I cut the track solo and then I hired Dominic Frontiere, the arranger, and I worked with him for a couple of days. And then we went in and they had a 69-piece orchestra. We played the chart, and then I freaked out and ran out and re-wrote the whole thing (laughs) at the session. This thing went like eight hours with 69 pieces. You wouldn’t be able to do that today, it’s cost prohibitive. I mean we were just nuts (laughs). My friend Norbert Putnam, who produced it, and I were having a great time. He bought a whole cooler of Dom Perignon and we were saying, “Boy, this is gonna be great, isn’t it.” And here are all these people and we’re out at the Burbank Sound Stage where they do the movies. We’re drinking champagne before the thing even started, thinking we were just going to sit there and listen. And I heard the first chart and just went, “Oh my God!” It sounded like a train wreck. So I was half lit to begin with, and then I had to go out and try and tell these guys what I wanted them to play. It was a long night (laughs). It was a great night in retrospect".

"Fogelberg's 1985 song "Sutter's Mill" tells the story of John Sutter, who was involved in the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848. The discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill led to the California Gold Rush of 1849, which changed the course of California's and the nation's history."

Fifty-years-ago this month, Dan Fogelberg released the incredible album, "Souvenirs."

During the pandemic, the members of Connections (well, mostly me) had the idea to record "Gambler," and put out a video. We never got the project done. None of the video was shot, and some of the tracks never recorded....

But I assembled what we did have, and here you go...not great...but an homage to the man who helped us start our band...and the great record that came out, 50 years go, this month.

Place In the World For a Gambler -- Connections Demo

"The Reach” is set in Maine during the autumn season, painting a vivid picture of the landscape and the raw beauty of nature. The lyrics depict the changing colors of the birches as they begin to turn and the fog that meets the beaches, creating an atmospheric backdrop for the story that unfolds.
The song beautifully captures the timeless bond between a father and his son, symbolizing a tradition that has been passed down through generations in coastal communities. It speaks of lobstermen, hauling their catch by hand, and braving the stormy seas. This tradition serves as a metaphorical thread that connects the past to the present, showcasing the strength and resilience of those who rely on the sea for their livelihood.
“The Reach” symbolizes a sense of longing and the pursuit of knowledge. This particular stretch of the coast represents a deeper understanding of life, its struggles, and its endless teachings. As the protagonist embarks on a journey to the depths of their soul, they draw wisdom from the reach, taking everything it has to offer.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to reflect the changing seasons. The wind brings a chill, and the frost on the sill signifies the arrival of winter. The reach lies frozen, serving as a metaphor for the challenges and hardships that life inevitably brings. It is during these difficult times that the true lessons of the reach become apparent, offering guidance and strength."            Beatcrave

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.
