Dan Fogelberg : The Lostbrook Tape Series - Volume 21

I was well known as a taper at my college radio station,
and when I volunteered to work as an usher for this concert,
my DJ friends were quick to laugh and point out that I
wouldn’t be able to tape the show. I played along as if this
were an unsolvable dilemma, muttering that I had made a big
mistake and would have to sacrifice one for my school. In
reality, it was one of my easiest taping experiences. There
was no risk of being caught at the door, and I was able to keep
the Sanyo hidden backstage while I did some ushering. Well
before show time, I gave the recorder to a friend who conveniently
had an aisle seat in my section. I spent most of the concert
sitting on the steps next to my friend, holding my recorder,
occasionally handing it off to do something “usherly.” In the end,
I produced one of my finest tapes and had the last laugh at the radio
station when I walked in the next morning and pressed “play.” I
strongly recommend this tape, especially to those who might think
that Dan Fogelberg’s music was a little too “soft” or middle of the
road. This is an amazing solo performance by a brilliant songwriter
and one of my favorite tapes.
