Who was it that sang the song for his father just before the Telluride House Band came on Sunday night?   I'm not sure it was mentioned on KOTO.  Either that or I missed the intro. 

Man, that was a touching tribute.....and on fathers day to boot!   I'm not sure I could've done that.

That was Craig Ferguson, aka Fergie.  It was wonderful and really moving.  He lost his dad this year.

The song was "Talking with my Father" by Dougie Maclean who played it on stage two years ago.

I think the term is douchebag for how I feel demanding of Craig's attention.

Huh?  I don't get that.
And thanks EJ for the 411.

see "Abused by . . ." in TBF forumn if you want to know more, or just let it go that I feel remorse over demanding Craig's attention rather than letting him be.

I, for one, deeply appreciated Craig's tribute to his late father. 

I also know where he was coming from, as I lost my father on
Xmas Day last year after he had suffered over three years of
multiple illnesses.   While I enjoyed Sunday as a day of music,
Craig's tribute was a precious reminder of life, whether as
a father, mother, son or daughter.

I loved the tribute to his Dad and we also had an unfortunate death in the family during the rumball party.My beloved brother in law passed away after a terrible bout with cancer he was only 57 yrs old and a fighter for the last 5 years. he would have had rumballs with the group and we toasted him in spirit that day!! 
great tribute to a great man                                         Tess   Flower
