\"\"<\/a>For anyone growing up in American between the 1970s and 90s, Dan Fogelberg’s music would have been on your play list.\u00a0 Some of his most recognized hits include “Longer” (1979), “Same Old Lang Syne” and “Leader of the Band” (both in 1981), and “Rhythm of the Rain” (1990).<\/p>\n

Fogelberg was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois to musician parents.\u00a0 After graduating from high school in 1969, he attended the University of Illinois, majoring in theater arts and painting.\u00a0 He began performing as a solo acoustic player at “The Red Herring” in 1971 and was discovered by Irving Azoff, who became his promoter.\u00a0 Fogelberg’s first solo recordings were made at the Red Herring as part of the University’s folk festival in 1971.<\/p>\n

Fogelberg\u2019s favorite guitar, named “Buck” and temporarily loaned to the Sousa Archives for its Spaces Speak exhibition, was used almost exclusively for composing and recording purposes. Fogelberg likely played this \u201cDreadnought\u201d guitar during his 1976 performance at the Virginia Theater and his 1981 and 1993 performances at the Assembly Hall.\u00a0 The guitar\u2019s top is made of cedar, its sides and back are Indian rosewood, and its neck is mahogany with an ebony fingerboard and abalone inlays.<\/p>\n
