RIP Dan Fogelberg

[Donna]

He died Sunday at age 56 of prostate cancer. "Same Old Lang Syne" is one of my favorite songs.

Made even worse because it's treatable if caught in time.

Is there a story behind that title?

[Donna]

I think all of his songs were stories basically. In this song he sees an old girlfriend in the grocery store on Christmas Eve and tells of how they have been.

I know the song--and it is timeless; but is there a reason the song title is so "unique?"

[Donna]

I don't know that. I hadn't read anything about it.
