The Real Story Behind Same Old Lang Syne
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.

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,
