Same Old Lang Syne
« on: December 16, 2007, 07:30:01 PM »
I remember going Christmas shopping about 25 years ago, and as I hopped in my old pickup and pulled out of the local mall, the local rock station played a new song by Dan Fogelberg. It was snowing, and it was Christmas Eve, and the song was "Same Old Lang Syne". It's been a holiday season favorite for me ever since.

Dan Fogelberg died today

Thanks Dan, thanks for the great songs.

Same Old Lang Syne always tears me up.

I guess I got too many "what if's" in my life.

Sad news indeed.
