Did you like Dan Fogelberg? I did. I mean, I was a kid in his heyday but every year I waited to hear Same Old Lang Syne on the radio around Christmas. That’s why I loved this story my dad clipped and saved from the paper for me. (That’s how we did it before hyperlinks, kids.) Turns out, Dan’s old lover is a teacher in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri.
I think that’s kinda sweet.
Happy New Year, everyone!
I had no idea the song was based on a true story. How interesting.
I haven’t heard the song in years, but it always made me sad when I heard it.
WOW! My husband is a HUGE Dan Fogelberg fan. I can’t wait to send him the article! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for linking that article. I am a big fan of Dan Fogelberg and have played his music on guitar and piano for years. i was bummed out to hear of his passing. I first heard his album ” Souvenirs” ” at college (SMS) in 1974 and have been hooked ever since…thanks again,
MJ! Stephanie’s daughter goes to the school where that woman teaches, so she knows her! Your blog is amazing! It’s like 6 degrees of MJ!
