More music obituaries for the season…

Christmas/New Years always seems to be tough on musicians (James Brown last year, Dizzy Gillespie in 1993, Leonard Meyer, Dan Fogelberg, and Oscar Peterson this year).

The NY Times obit for Leonard Meyer is available here.  Oscar Peterson, jazz pianist, has many online and newspaper obituaries; the NY Times obit can be found here and the CNN obituary is available here; CNN also has another Peterson article, “Remembering Peterson.”

Dan Fogelberg, famed folk-rocker and later acoustic and bluegrass music enthusiast, died  Dec. 16; his NY Times obit can be found here; there is also a rather hagiographic but informative allmusic.com article on Fogelberg available here.
