Dan Fogelberg - "Same Old Lang Syne"

Welcome to Hitmaker Chronicles! I'm your host, Garrett Fisher. Today we explore Dan Fogelberg's "Same Old Lang Syne" - the New Year's classic that almost didn't happen. We'll trace how a 90-minute encounter at a Peoria convenience store became a perfectly crafted story song, why Fogelberg thought it was a joke until he finished writing it, and how Jill Anderson kept quiet for 27 years. It's a story about whipping cream and eggnog, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture hidden in plain sight, and proving that sometimes the most personal songs become the most universal.
