I've been trying to find out the name of a song by him without success.

Song goes like There's too many window in this old hotel.

Also even though the masses probably just know him as a soloist he actually started out in a group called The Coachmen.

I know of 1 song by them released in 1968 called Maybe Time Will Let Her, there 1 more word in the tile which I can't think of.

Anyway it's a pretty good tune.

That would be 'Heart Hotels' from his 1979 album 'Phoenix'.

Heart Hotels

Well there's too many windows in this old hotel
And rooms filled with reckless pride
And the walls have grown sturdy
And the halls have worn well
But there is nobody living in inside
Nobody living inside
Gonna pull in the shutters on this heart of mine
Roll up the carpets and pull in the blinds
And retreat to the chambers that I left behind
In hopes there still may be love left to find
Still may be love left to find
Seek inspiration in daily affairs
Now your soul is in trouble and requires repairs
And the voices you hear at the top of the stairs
Are only echoes of unanswered prayers
Echoes of unanswered prayers
(Repeat First Verse)

oh and this from the FAQ section on old fogeys site:

Who are your favorite singer/songwriters?

I think the 60's and 70's were the" Golden Years" of pop song writing. The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, and Buffalo Springfield really formed the core of my songwriting style. Today I’d have to say Sting stands above the rest. I’m also a huge fan of Randy Newman

Two years ago it was reported Dan Fogelberg was battling prostate cancer. Has anyone heard anything regarding his current health status?

Gee Whiz I just checked that site, wonder how I missed that?

Well Thanks anyways.

I searched the net in every way I could but nothing new about Dan since mid-last year.

From what I read,he's still winning the fight but has no future plans to record or tour.

I wasn't able to find any new reports about Dan either. Thanks for searching Borderstone!

Someone linked me this site which has a couple of recordings by The Coachmen.

I only listened to the 1st song listed since I was familiar with it.

Unfortunatly these particualer online versions aren't all that great but here they are.
