Such a beautiful tribute to his father by Fogelberg---and a much-deserved tribute to all school band directors, as well. The brass choir is an especially nice touch.

I'm an old brass player from way back; I've always loved Fogelberg's tune, the brass choir in particular. Such a beautiful gift to his father.

I don't know anything about music, just what I like.

His Run for the Roses is sublime.
