TELL_IT_TO_MY_FACE_INTRO_BY_DAN_FOGELBERG.mp3

On my way home today from running errands, I decided to stop by a little thrift store that I often pass, but have never taken the time to visit. From the moment I opened the door, it was as if I was being pushed toward the center isle. There in the midst of other people’s unwanted items was a table with six old produce crates sitting on it. In those crates, I found gold! Well, o.k., they were albums, but it was like finding gold to me. My fingers flipped past fossils like Perry Como and Pat Boone as if they had a mind of their own and knew exactly what they wanted. Suddenly, my fingers gripped their selection and raised it to my disbelieving eyes.

I held in my hands a pristine copy of Twin Sons of Different Mothers, the 1978 album that Dan Fogelberg put together with Tim Weisberg. I purchased my treasure and rushed back to the studio to play it. The sound quality was truly divine, and the CD version that I have just pales in comparison! Listening to the album reminded me of the conversation I had with Dan, during my interview with him, about the song, "Tell Me to My Face." I have posted a clip of that conversation for everyone to enjoy.
