Dan Fogelberg - Same Old Lang Syne

I heard "Same Old Lang Syne"on the radio this morning. I guess I should have expected it - it being New Year's Eve and all.

I mentioned it in a previous posting as being the best "story song" ever. It is a fabulous song.

You can find the following information about the song on Dan's website:
  • It's based on a real event
  • It took him over a year to write the song
  • The melody has references to Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture". 
 Last time I mentioned it, I included a link to a live performance on YouTube. Here is a different live performance:
